I found this book on the "recommended" shelf at the library and read it as an adult without kids at home. This is a "string of pearls" non-fiction book about how the author started dog-sledding, the dogs he trained, and his experience running the Iditarod. Part Jack London and part Annie Dillard he describes his environment with both the eye of the naturalist and a love of wild places -- both in the heart and in nature.
What makes this a children's book is simply the short length and the absence of adult topics like alcohol and sex. There's plenty of wonder, suspense, and heartbreak here for readers of any age to enjoy.
