Gary Paulsen's hilarious and harrowing account of running the Iditarod—the legendary thousand-mile dog sled race across Alaska—is an unforgettable adventure story. What begins as a seemingly straightforward dream quickly descends into chaos, frostbite, and near-death experiences as Paulsen and his team of sled dogs battle brutal sub-zero temperatures, treacherous ice, and sheer exhaustion.

With his trademark self-deprecating humour and vivid storytelling, Paulsen captures both the absurdity and the magnificence of this ultimate test of endurance. From being dragged face-first through frozen terrain to witnessing the raw beauty of the Alaskan wilderness, this is a tale that celebrates the extraordinary bond between musher and dogs, and the indomitable human spirit that refuses to quit—even when common sense suggests otherwise.
