Brother and sister, Grant and Christina, accompany their grandparents, Mimi and Papa on a trip to Alaska. Mimi is researching for her next mystery book about the famous dog sled race from Seward to Nome.
As they begin their journey strange things begin to happen like missing dogs, poisoning of animals and other problems. Grant and Christina also learn about the challenges the dogs and sledders face each day during this difficult race. The author does a great job of including interesting facts, map and a glossary about this experience.
If you want to learn about Alaska and this famous Iditarod race, this is the book for you! I think I’d like to try other mysteries in this series and learn about places I’ve never visited like “The Mystery of the Alamo Ghost”. I think that one will be in Texas!
