For 17 days, Paulsen and his team of dogs endured blinding wind, snowstorms, moose attacks, and more--yet relentlessly pushed on to the end. "The best author of man-against-nature adventures writing today".--Publishers Weekly.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>An incredible sled-dog race through the Alaskan wilderness and a stunning journey of discovery and survival from the author of the beloved <i>Hatchet</i>.</b> <p/> Fueled by a passion for running dogs, Gary Paulsen entered the Iditarod--the eleven-hundred-and-eight-mile sled-dog race through the Alaskan wilderness--in dangerous ignorance and with a fierce determination. For seventeen days, he and his team of dogs endured blinding wind, snowstorms, frostbite, dog fights, moose attacks, sleeplessness, hallucinations--and the relentless push to go on. <i>Winterdance </i>is the enthralling account told by the "best author of man-against-nature adventures writing today" (<i>Publishers Weekly)</i>.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"There are only a handful of indispensable dog books...<i>Winterdance</i> belongs among [those] classics...It is hard to find a page in this laconic book without an insight, hard to find a word that could be cut without loss...<i>Winterdance</i> is beautiful and is very funny and it's about and dogs and their souls."--<i><b>Washington Post</b></i> <p/> "Win<i>terdance </i>will be around long after most outdoor adventure books have been forgotten. What could have been an ordinary journal becomes instead a revelation." <b>-</b><i><b>Minneapolis/St. Paul Star-Tribune</b></i> <p/> "In the tradition of Jack London...[Paulsen's] prose is spare and physical; at its best, it has the fluid simplicity of Hemingway...What's most moving is his behavior at the end of the race; 'I didn't want to go in, ' he says. Armchair travelers will understand." <b>-</b><i><b>Booklist</b></i> <p/> "A breathtaking, heart-stopping, roller coaster ride that depicts the brutal reality of the Iditarod, the magnificent beauty of Alaska, and the unique, if not surreal, relationship that develops between man and dog."<b>--<i>Nevada Weekly</i></b> <br><br>
