I found 'Winterdance' to be a surprisingly interesting and adventure-filled book. Gary Paulsen's humorous way of telling the story of his many excursions with his dogs while training for and racing in the Iditarod had me turning page after page.
I truthfully hadn't expected to enjoy it as much as I did. I now have a deeper respect for the athletes of the Iditarod and the humans lucky enough to race with them.
