From the author of Ice Dogs comes a riveting adventure about a
musher who sets out to prove her impaired vision won't hold her back
from competing in a rigorous sled race through the Canadian wilderness.
Perfect for fans of Gary Paulsen.
McKenna Barney is trying to hide her worsening eyesight and has been
isolating herself for the last year. But at the request of her little
sister, she signs up for a commemorative mail run race in the Canadian
wilderness--a race she doesn't know if she can even see to run.
Winning would mean getting her disease--and her sister's--national media
coverage, but it would also pit McKenna and her team of eight sled dogs
against racers from across the globe for three days of shifting lake
ice, sudden owl attacks, snow squalls, and bitterly cold nights.
A page-turning adventure about living with disability and surviving the
wilderness, Dog Driven is the story of one girl's self-determination
and the courage it takes to trust in others.
