hoatzin's review against another edition
An old friend; gave this to one of my cousin's kids for Christmas and had to reread it first. The ending always made me cry with happiness as a kid and in fact I DID tear up this time, too.

A real hit for my early reader! Mom enjoyed it too. A captivating true adventure story, smartly written so it didn't feel watered down to a specific reading level.

Reading the acts of bravery and heroism to my children, then thinking of the dire need of medicine for the children and possibly the whole town of Nome, AK brought tears to my eyes. Truly a very special book.

A real page turner!
My almost 7 year old read the whole thing all at once. She was familiar with the story from Magic Treehouse. Next time we go to NYC we are going to visit the Balto statue!
