Mike Races Again

By Nancy Yoshida

Based on the true story of a resilient dog whose life dream was to run in the Iditarod Sled Dog Race, Mike Races Again follows Mike, the Alaskan Husky, from injury to recovery through the eyes of his dog friend Nigel. While in Alaska training for the Iditarod Sled Dog Race, Mike stepped into a snare trap, almost losing a back foot. His human mom and musher, Nancy, and his friends and Husky teammates carried him for two hours back to the kennel. There followed a visit to the vet, a surgery, and the loving attention of Mike's friends--human and dog alike. Nigel, the Alaskan Husky first introduced in the book Nigel's Choice , tells Mike's story with humor, all from the perspective of the doghouse next door. Mike's journey of recovery shows the power of determination and friendship, as well as the incredible bond between dog mushers and their dogs. Mike eventually does race again, but does he get to run the race of his dreams--the Iditarod Sled Dog Race?
