Review of The Race to Nome

I first read this book as a ten year old and it is an outstanding read. Any child could pick it up and find it fascinating. If your children have ever seen the cartoon movie Balto and want to find out the true story about all of the legendary mnushers and their dogs - such as Leonard Seppala and his lead dog Togo - you have to read this book. It is an inspring story of how man helped his fellow man (with the assistance of man's best friend the dog)to beat a Diptheria epedemic. Absolutely wonderful - hope this book is back in stock soon as I would love to re-reasd it.
