I usually read fiction. My book club chose this book and I would say that it is one of the very best non-fiction books I have ever read! I was laughing one minute and biting my nails the next minute! Highly recommended!

This was an exciting book as well as a informative book. I presently own a Syberian husky and 3 german shepherds and felt the novel brought me a little closer to my dogs.

I usually read fiction, but this book may have changed my mind. I teach adult education and this book has become part of my class library, and is always being used. I know who has it by the laughter. The skunks are soooooo funny. The book really does go over the ups and downs of sled dog raising, and racing. This is the kind of book you can't put down. It is written at a 5th grade reading level, but the content is for everyone.

I love Gary Paulsen fiction books, but this is the first of his nonfiction works I've read. I hope to be able to read his others.

Fueled by a passion for running dogs, Gary Paulsen entered the Iditarod--the 1150-mile winter sled-dog race between Anchorage and Nome-- in dangerous ignorance and with a fierce determination. Winterdance is his account of this seventeen-day battle against Nature's worst elements and his own frailty.

From Publishers Weekly
Acclaimed children's book author Paulsen offers a gripping account of his experience running the 1180 mile Iditarod dogsled race.
