Winterdance by Gary Paulsen
You'll find this book shelved in the Young Adult section, but that's mostly because many of Paulsen's novels are for younger readers - Don't let that keep you away from this book!
This is a hilarious account of Gary Paulsen's somewhat misguided midlife decision to run the Iditarod - the 1,100 mile dogsled race from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska. Winterdance is a terrific dog story, a great outdoor adventure, and a certain cure for the summer heat.
Winterdance can be found in the Young Adult section of the Chicopee Public Library.
If you like Paulsen's writing style and the elements of outdoor adventure, try some of his novels for younger readers, such as Hatchet, Dogsong, and Brian's Return.
