Dog Driven

Written by Terry Lynn Johnson

Narrated by Morgan Hallett

From the author of Ice Dogs, comes a riveting adventure about a musher who sets out to prove her impaired vision won't hold her back from competing in a rigorous sled race through the Canadian wilderness. Perfect for fans of Gary Paulsen. McKenna Barney is trying to hide her worsening eyesight and has been isolating herself for the last year. But at the request of her little sister, she signs up for a commemorative mail run race in the Canadian wilderness-a race she doesn't know if she can even see to run. Winning would mean getting her disease-and her sister's-national media coverage, but it would also pit McKenna and her team of eight sled dogs against racers from across the globe for three days of shifting lake ice, sudden owl attacks, snow squalls, and bitterly cold nights. A page-turning adventure about living with disability and surviving the wilderness, Dog Driven is the story of one girl's self-determination and the courage it takes to trust in others.

Reviews for Dog Driven

[Becky Baumgartner · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A moving tale of a girl going blind who still chooses to compete in a dog sled race to raise awareness for the disease that has taken her sister's sight and now threatens hers (though she's trying to keep her own status a secret). Instead of treating the race like a cutthroat competition, our heroine is kind, helpful, and inspirational towards her competitors and finds inspiration and help in turn. It's a feel good story, great for those who love stories of people overcoming difficulties, friendship stories, and dog lovers.
