Description

It's 1925. Balto the sled dog must race against time when the children of Nome, Alaska, become sick--and the medicine is 650 miles away. Can the sled dogs deliver the serum in time? History Stepping Stones now feature updated content that emphasizes Common Core and today's renewed interest in nonfiction. Perfect for home, school, and library bookshelves! Balto has a quiet life as a sled dog-until tragedy strikes. Dozens of children in Nome become sick with diphtheria. Without antitoxin serum, they will perish-and the closest supply is 650 miles away! The only way to get the serum to Nome is by sled, but can the dogs deliver it in time? Heading bravely into a brutal blizzard, Balto leads the race for life. A Kansas City Children's Book Award for Grades 1-3
