In 1985, Libby Riddles made history by becoming the first woman to win the rugged and gruelling 1,100-mile Iditarod Sled Dog Race. This brand new edition of Riddles' timeless adventure story is complete with updated narrative details, sidebars on all aspects of the race, many more photographs and all-new illustrations. An inspiration to children and adults everywhere, this first-hand account tells of arctic storms, freezing temperatures, loyal sled dogs and utter determination.

Libby Riddles is the first woman to win the grueling 1,049-mile Iditarod Sled Dog Race. She currently lives in Homer, Alaska, and her Blazing Kennels has 28 sled dogs. After three summers in Juneau developing the number one rated “heli-mushing” tour, she is now one of the main Alaskan presenters for Princess Cruises, and enjoys being one of the leading representatives of her sport to the thousands of visitors every summer.

Shannon Cartwright has spent most of her Alaska years living in the bush. Cartwright has traveled all over the state working on a set-net site in Bristol Bay, driving horse-pack trips, guiding in the Alaska Range and Brooks Range, researching book projects, and traveling between her cabins by train, skis, snowmobiles, and horses. She expresses her love of Alaska through the 28 children's books she has illustrated, seven of which she has also written.
