Dog Runner

by Don H. Meredith

Jim Redcrow is a Metis teenager who helps his father and uncle run a trapline in northern Alberta. As part of his duties, Jim maintains the family dog team that is used to haul supplies to and from the trapline. Times are hard and Jim will lose his dogs unless he can figure another way for them to earn their keep. He enters a grueling three-day race that tests the limits of his team. Tempted to win at all costs, he comes to realize the price may be too high.

[Alaghom Naom Tzentel · Rating 3 out of 5]

Leuk avontuur, wel een typisch jeugdboek:
Enerzijds krijg je wat culturele achtergrond mee, maar de personages op zich worden weinig uitgediept en blijven een beetje karikaturale pubers.
Maar voor een jeugdboek is dat best oké.
