Most early chapter books, in an effort to keep things simple and easy to read, may feel too condescending to the reluctant or lower-skilled reader. I must applaud Whelan for giving us a story that respects the reader with an interesting tale that won't overtax a growing reader. The story, set in Alaska, is told from the point of view of a young girl whose father runs the Rondy and Iditarod. Silver is the runt of a litter of sled dogs that she raises with dreams of running the Iditarod herself...more
This book is a 4.5 on the AR reading list. I like that it is a short book and that it has so many drawings throughout. I think my daughter would enjoy reading it since the protagonist is a young girl. It is a story set in Alaska winter. My mom spent many winters in Alaska as a girl because that is where her dad (my grandpa) had his business. I enjoy reading about events like the Iditarod that I remember hearing my mom talk about when I was little.
Fun and cute!
