What an amazing adventure! Paulsen captured and transported you to the Iditarod. I couldn't put this story down. The entire story was told with humor, grace, wonder, and captured the soul of the race and the craziness it takes to run. I wanted to know how the second race went, did Paulsen ever make friends with Devil, how long was Cookie the lead, and so much more!

Grandma read this onto mp3 for my brothers, and I just finished listening to it today. Technically, no, I didn’t read it—but it was close enough I think I can count it as actually having read it.

Winterdance is very well written. The story is about a man who ran the Iditarod—the huge dog race in Alaska. It tells of him starting with hardly any knowledge at all about dogs, or the race, or anything—and how he somehow blundered his way to Alaska and ran the race. Fascinating adventures, and apparently it actually is a true account.

If I can get this book in print, I’ll definitely be reviewing it—it is a beautiful story of dogs, the relationships you can have with them, and a very humorous account of a rookie running the Iditarod for the first time.

NOTE: This is definitely an adult book. It needs heavy censuring before it's okay for a child. I really liked the story, but that was a downside to this book.

A wonderful book full of awe, madness and magic. The dogs round are all such unique characters and I came to love them all. Even Devil.

I wish there was 6 star option for times like these.
