Kiana's Iditarod by Shelley Gill
Kiana is no ordinary dog. Born and bred to race, she leads her team of huskies on a journey unlike any other. The Iditarod - known traditionally as Alaska's 'Last Great Race' - spans 1,049 icy miles from Anchorage to Nome. From the treacherous terrain to the bitter, blowing winds, the trail is full of obstacles Kiana and her team must overcome in order to reach the finish line. Along the way, they encounter packs of wild wolves, a mighty moose, and other dog-sled teams fighting for first place. Can Kiana summon the strength of her team and lead them to victory? Author Shelley Gill brings her firsthand experience as the fifth woman to complete the Iditarod race to this crackling adventure story, while Shannon Cartwright's vibrant color illustrations bring Kiana and her team's extraordinary efforts to life for young readers.SHELLEY GILL finished the Iditarod as the fifth woman. Shelley travels to schools across the country to speak about a variety of topics, from whale watching to where her ideas originate from, when she isn't writing. Sasquatch Books now owns the Paws IV line of Alaskan children's books, which Gill founded and published. The author is from Homer, Alaska.
