Synopsis

Victoria Secord, a fourteen-year-old Alaskan dogsled racer, loses her way on a routine outing with her dogs. With food gone and temperatures dropping, her survival and that of her dogs and the mysterious boy she meets in the woods is entirely up to her.

The author Terry Lynn Johnson is a musher herself, and her crackling writing puts readers at the reins as Victoria and Chris experience setbacks, mistakes, and small triumphs in their wilderness adventure.

Praise for Ice Dogs "Ice Dogs is written by a woman who knows her mushing; Terry Lynn Johnson should be ready for comparisons to the best of Gary Paulsen, Farley Mowat, and Jean Craighead George."—Carole Estby Dagg, author of The Year We Were Famous. "Ice Dogs is both a great sled dog story and a suspenseful tale of winter survival. I found it authentic to the North in every detail, and read it in one gulp."—Will Hobbs, author of Far North and Never Say Die Praise for Terry Lynn Johnson's Dogsled Dreams published by 4RV Publishing LLC "Any teacher using Gary Paulsen's Woodsong would want Terry Johnson's Dogsled Dreams as a part of their classroom library and to use as an instructional piece while integrating dog mushing into classroom lessons."
   —Iditarod Education Director, Diane Johnson "Dogsled Dreams is an inspirational story about a girl learning the rewards of persistence, hard work and bravery. Rebecca's experiences are applicable to any young girl ready to emerge from the security of childhood to the freedom of adolescence.
