Remember this beautiful book cover? Those incredible eyes?
For those who missed the post about this popular YA novel, here is an excerpt:
Terry Lynn Johnson's vivid writing reflects a passion born out of her sled dog knowledge and as such brings readers of all ages a thrilling adventure!
The suspense builds up from the onset when fourteen year old Victoria, unbeknownst to her mother, treks across the countryside to secure new lead dogs in hopes of winning the White Wolf race.
Remembering her father's recommendations, she packs a sleeping bag and a few snacks at the last moment, a last minute decision which will prove vital.

Readers of ICE DOGS will find themselves turning page after page to find out what happens next to Victoria and her dogs when per chance they happen on young Chris and his wrecked snowmobile on the trail.
Chris recently moved from Toronto to Alaska and is ill equipped for any outing in the wild. When a sudden storm moves in, the two young people must team up to survive and find their way home or die in the wilderness.

If you would like to meet Terry Lynn Johnson in person (sorry, I don't believe the dogs will be there) she is inviting all those living in Washington State to join her!

Here is Terry's message to her readers:
"I hope to see you!
...Seriously, please come and smile at me: I'll be the one dressed as a musher and looking enthusiastic but big city terrified!"
Note to readers: I usually shy away from crowds but this is one time I will brave it to meet this keen musher (and ask her to sign my copy of her book!)
Aw, if I lived in Washington State I'd want to see the dogs! :) Amazing image. I have always been fascinated by those dogs.
ReplyDeleteThose eyes!! I'll say hello to Terry for you.
DeleteThanks for stopping by,
Wow that would be amazing to meet her. Can't believe she isn't bringing the dogs. Haha hope you are doing wonderful my friend :)
ReplyDeleteNice to see you here Kayla and I can attest Terry is every bit as nice as she sounds. Both hubby and I had a great time speaking to her and hope to see her next book on the shelves soon!
