Why read it?
1 author picked Dog Driven as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Terry Lynn Johnson has written many books on sled dogs. Dog Driven does a great job of sharing what a junior race is like: the competitiveness, the setbacks, and the thrill of the sport. It also addresses facing an issue head-on. In this book, the main character is struggling with worsening eyesight. I think middle grade readers will relate to feeling apprehensive when facing something difficult.
From Natalie's list on middle grade sled-dogs.
