Small Fry Pick of the Week: Ice Dogs

 

Ice Dogs by Terry Lynn Johnson 

Lost.  That's how fourteen-year-old dog-sledder Victoria Secord has felt ever sine her father died.  A champion musher, Victoria is independent, self-reliant, and, thanks to her father, an expert in surviving the unforgiving Alaskan bush.  When an injured "city boy" and freak snowstorm both catch Victoria and her dog team by surprise, however, a routine trip becomes a life-or-death trek through the frozen wilderness.  As temperatures drop and food stores run out, Victoria must find a way to save them all in this high-stakes, high-adventure middle grade novel of endurance, hope, and finding your way back home.
