Thanks for including Under Alaska's Midnight Sun on your Iditarod list. I'm volunteering at the Iditarod this year with DeeDee Jonrowe's mom. It's fun knowing my book will play a part too.
Deb, thanks for stopping by, and have a great time at the Iditarod! We love Under Alaska's Midnight Sun and have several more of your titles on our list for this year.
Wow! What a great list of resources for the Iditarod! I'm bookmarking this and will visit again with my kids. We have The Great Serum Race, Balto, and Togo, but haven't read any of the others.
Thanks for this awesome list, Fiddler!
