Review by Booklist Review

Gr. 7-9. Through the challenge of running a sled-dog team in the Arctic, Russel connects his present with the past. He learns, with the help of his grandfather, to listen to the ancient music of the "dogsong," bridging the snowmobiling of his present life with the dogsledding of his ancestors.
