Benson's Race

Benson is a Siberian husky, training hard for the Iditarod. But not everyone racing is as honest as Benson's trainer. While crossing a dangerous stretch, Benson will find Rosie, a red-furred husky dognapped by Zelda, the evil musher. Can Benson save her? And will rescuing her cost him the race? Addressing family, work ethics, responsibility, and tolerance of others, this touching, yet action-packed story teaches valuable lessons we all must learn. The characters come alive through magnificent illustrations. Benson's Race is recommended for fourth through sixth graders, but is wonderful for reading to younger children as well.
