Description



About the Book



In the winter of 1924 two sled dogs, Togo and Balto, race against time to deliver a diptheria antitoxin to Nome, Alaska and stop the deadly illness from spreading.



Book Synopsis



It's the winter of 1924 and a diptheria outbreak is threatening the population of Nome, Alaska. The only way to stop the deadly illness from causing a full blown epidemic is to immediately deliver one million units of the diptheria antitoxin to the affected communities --a task that seems impossible given that the only way to reach any place in Alaska at this time of year is by dog sled. The stakes are high, and the snow is piling higher. Will the antitoxin make it in time? Or will the infection spread faster than they can treat it...

Follow along as Balto and Togo lead the way in this race against time to get the antitoxin and save lives.



About the Author



Helen Moss was born in 1964 and grew up in the beautiful rolling countryside of Worcestershire and a remote corner of Saudi Arabia. Helen now lives in a village near Cambridge with her computer-scientist husband, two teenage sons and some dogs and hens. When she's not writing or thinking up her next dastardly crime (purely fictional, of course!), she likes walking in the countryside with the dogs, running (without the dogs, who just trip her over) climbing mountains and skiing down them - and reading, of course.
