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 fierce determination. Winterdance is his account of this seventeen-day battle against Nature's worst elements and his own frailty.

Review of 'Winterdance' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Loved it. Just like I love any book about ungodly freezing polar regions or ungodly preposterous pursuits like mountain climbing or having dogs pull you on a sled through the most desolate uninhabited regions of the world. A book written just for me.
