"A stirring tale of survival, thanks to man's best friend." —Seattle TimesWhen a deadly diphtheria epidemic swept through Nome, Alaska, in 1925, the local doctor knew that without a fresh batch of antitoxin, his patients would die. The lifesaving serum was a thousand miles away, the port was icebound, and planes couldn't fly in blizzard conditions—only the dogs could make it. The heroic dash of dog teams across the Alaskan wilderness to Nome inspired the annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race and immortalized Balto, the lead dog of the last team whose bronze statue still stands in New York City's Central Park. This is the greatest dog story, never fully told until now.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It's a riveting story of the famous diphtheria serum relay via dogsled from Nenana to Nome, Alaska, in 1925. While the book is nonfiction and a very well-researched historical account, it had me hooked like a good novel. The details about the mushers (dogsled drivers), dogs, weather conditions, and the situation in Nome were incredible. Reading the book gives you a little insight into life in the frontier days of Alaska. While the focus of the book was obviously the situation in 1925 Nome and the relief effort, the author provides some fascinating detail of the earlier Gold Rush days and what the towns of Alaska were like in the late 1800s through early 1900s. The book is pretty "safe" for readers of all ages, with the only "mature" content being a very brief mention (maybe a paragraph) about a famous prostitute in the Gold Rush days. I would feel comfortable letting my two pre-teens read this book. The historical action and information are presented in a very engaging way, and as I finished every page I couldn't wait to read what happened next.
