About This Book
This is the true story about a very brave dog who, in 1925, led his team 700 miles through blinding snowdrifts, over a frozen river, and around cracking ice to save two diphtheria-stricken children.About the Authors or Illustrators
Natalie Standiford is the author of many books for teens and children. Her middle grade novel The Secret Tree "takes its rightful place in the now classic genre of 'neighborhood kids' that began with Beverly Cleary," said The New York Times, which named it a Notable Children's Book of 2012. Her young adult novels include How to Say Goodbye in Robot, Confessions of the Sullivan Sisters, and The Boy on the Bridge.
