Iditarod Dream: Dusty and His Sled Dogs Compete in Alaska's Jr. Iditarod
by Ted WoodFrom book jacket: Racing over icy mountain trails each March, mushers and their dogs battle severe conditions to participate in Alaska's world-famous Iditarod Trail Sled-Dog Race. Four years after the race was established, young competitors were given a chance to test their mettle when the Jr. Iditarod was created in 1977 for racers aged 14-17 years. Fifteen-year-old Dusty, one of only six students in his high school in remote Cantwell, Alaska, came in fourth in 1994-his first year in the race. He wants to be first in 1995. Dusty's log cabin home is surrounded by seventeen doghouses. Each one shelters a loyal friend who will run his or her heart out for Dusty. They train together three days a week, all year round, in all kinds of weather. Facing a challenge like the Jr Iditarod requires intense preparation and a steely determination. Follow Dusty and his dogs as they race across 158 miles of frozen lakes and windswept woods, dodging moose and snowmobiles, and fighting exhaustion and icy temperatures to reach for an often elusive dream.
