Praise for this book

"Sojo's narrative voice as she relates the Arctic adventure is jaunty, with just the right amount of goofiness to appeal to young readers' sensibilities, while Farnsworth's black-and-white illustrations add charm. . . Readers will come to understand the loyalty and camaraderie between Pam and her dog sled team as well as the absolute dependence each species has on the other for survival in the harsh environment. An action-filled story about dog sledding and teamwork presented in just the right way for its readership." -Kirkus
