Puppies, Dogs, and Blue Northers

Puppies, Dogs, and Blue Northers is by Gary Paulsen. Paulsen is the author of Hatchet and the other "Brian" books. This is a nonfiction tale of his experiences with his sled dogs. He relates his memories of Cookie, his long time friend and lead dog. We hear of his love and care for Cookie and watch her last litter of puppies become experienced sled dogs. Paulsen is an experienced Iditarod racer and this book is every bit as enjoyable as his fictional works.

Ratings: 5th grade - 10 out of 10.
