Dogsong by Gary Paulsen
Imagine this - you are on the back of a sled pulled by a team of dogs. You are riding north with nothing but the clothes on your back, and a few tools to hunt with. Actually, you aren't really sure where you're going, but somehow, you will know when you get there. To survive, you have to hunt for all of your own food, and find all of your own shelter.
This is what Russel went through in the book Dogsong by Gary Paulsen. He drove his grandfather’s dogs north to find himself. Along the way, he found an Eskimo girl and rescued her. Russel worked very hard on his journey by finding food, shelter, and just keeping himself alive. Work through each task to find out more about the book Dogsong, the author Gary Paulsen, his home Alaska, his Eskimo tribe the Inuit, and the Alaskan dogsled race, the Iditarod.
