Our latest focus title, Woodsong by Gary Paulsen, is a memoir of his adventures with a dog team. The first section of the book gives an account of how both domestic and wild animals taught him about nature. The second section is a daily log of the first time he ran the Iditarod, an 1122 mile dog sled race across Alaska, in 1983. Gary Paulsen is the author of the modern young adult classic Hatchet and many other fine books for both children and adults.Click here for Gary Paulsen's 2008 Iditarod profile and links to other official Iditarod information.

Dear Mr.Blount,
I liked the book.I still do not understand the fact that he was considering to turn around and not finish the race!To me,I would want to see what place I was in,and,go home to a nice,fresh cup of hot chocolate.
