by Pam Flowers with Ann Dixon
Pam quit her job and invested her savings in following her dream - dogsledding in the Arctic. This book for young readers tells about her training, preparation, and journey. It's overflowing with information on dogsledding and surviving in the Arctic, a perfect companion to Mater Amabilis™Level 1A Year 2 (third grade) which includes reading on the Arctic for Earth Studies.
If you have trouble finding a copy of By Truck to the North, this would also be an acceptable substitute. While the writing is not as literary as I prefer and the message of following your dream is a little overdone, it's still a good option. Students who love dogs, like my daughter, would be especially pleased with this book.
I have received nothing in exchange for this post of my honest opinions. Links to Amazon are affiliate links. I read a library copy.
