Not this Oteg, who she doesn't even know if she can trust completely. Black Star and Bright Dawn think alike. They help each other. Not even a moose can stand in their way!

I really enjoyed it.
Black Star is a sled dog. Bright Dawn is his owner. Follow them through the Iditarod Trail, braving an ice flow, and moose. Meet Oteg, a man racing in the Iditarod, a man that gives 18 year old Bright Dawn advice on how to race the Iditarod. This book is one of the top 50 books that I've read, and that's saying a lot, because I've read a lot of books. It has a scary beginning, but then there are twists in the story. Read this book to find out what they are...
