Winterdance : The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod

Fueled by a passion for running dogs, Gary Paulsen entered the Iditarod amp;mdash; the 1,180-mile sled-dog race through the Alaskan wilderness amp;mdash; in dangerous ignorance and with a fierce determination. For 17 days, he and his team of dogs endured blinding wind, snowstorms, frostbite, dogfights, moose attacks, sleeplessness, hallucinations amp;mdash; and the relentless push to go on.

Winterdance is the enthralling account of a "stunning wilderness journey of discovery and transformation" (Chicago Tribune), lived and told by "the best author of man-against-nature adventures writing today" (Publishers Weekly).
