AKIAK,
A TALE OF THE IDITAROD
by Robert Blake
One
of the most amazing races of the 20th Century is the Iditarod, a dog
sled race that began in 1967 across 1,161 frozen miles of Alaska,
demanding its dogs run almost 100 miles a day, pulling a sled with
their musher aboard. Although Akiak has raced the Iditarod before,
this ten-year-old huskie, a determined lead dog, knows that this is
her last opportunity to win. Fighting injury, blizzard, and
the rules of the race, her courage and determination lead her to attempt
the impossible.
