Twenty teams participate, and the dog who  inevitably gets credit for saving the town is Balto, lead dog on the  final team which delivered the serum. But few people have ever heard of  12-year-old Togo and his musher Leonard Seppala, who carried the serum  for almost double the length of any other team, and twice violated  warnings to avoid perilous Norton Sound and instead ran straight over  the frozen ice! With realistic black-and-white illustrations by Tim  Jessell—plus an appendix with information about Siberian huskies, sled  dogs, mushers, and more—Togo's tale is perfect for middle-grade readers  who love a spunky underdog!\u003cu\u003e\u003cb\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cb\u003e, December 1, 2013:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\"An informative historical narrative with heart.\"KATE KLIMO is the author of many books for young readers, including The  Dragon Keepers and all the books in the Dog Dairies series.
