The temperature had dropped to -50F. Fierce winds roared as snow pounded the sled. The blinding blizzard made it impossible to see. Waiting for the weather to change, however, wasnt an option. Fifty miles away in Nome, Alaska, dozens of the towns children were sick with diphtheria and near death. Gunnar and Balto carried the only medicine that could cure them! In this captivating book, young readers will meet an amazing Siberian husky named Balto, who bravely guided a team of sled dogs on a grueling trip through blinding snow, over a half-frozen river, and through a steep mountain pass to safely deliver medicine to children in need. Packed with adventure, true stories, and dramatic, full-color photos, this book is sure to inspire dog lovers everywhere.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Manoa Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 636.73 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList
