Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod
by Gary Paulsen
I almost decided to skip this novel. I'm glad I didn't. I'm not a sports person. I'm not a dog person. I'm not even a fan of cold things (except sweet ice tea). But I really liked this novel and the way the author wrote it. It was entertaining, it was insane, and it was also beautiful. Not only was it stuffed full of determination and near-death experiences, it's all based on true events in the author's life. Overall, I enjoyed it. 4 stars.
PS: I just read that the author, [a:Gary Paulsen|18|Gary Paulsen|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1595914847p2/18.jpg], is also the author of the Newberry award winning YA novel [b:Hatchet|50|Hatchet (Brian's Saga, #1)|Gary Paulsen|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1385297074l/50._SX50_.jpg|1158125] and that he recently passed away (October 2021).
