Illustrated by
Mark Elliott.
The simple story of fictional sled dog Yukon unfolds from her puppyhood through steps of basic training, and, after four years, a race in which Yukon leads. The elements of dogsledding are simplified in the story but elaborated in the author's note. The cuddly pups in the awkwardly rendered pencil and digitally colored art will capture readers' interest.
