"Can you imagine making a 364-mile journey in the Arctic wilderness with nothing but a dog and a sled? Helen Thayer was the first woman to make such a trip in 1988, and along the way she encountered a bear, icy weather, and injuries. You can read about her journey in Helen Thayer's Arctic Adventure: A Woman and a Dog Walk to the North Pole by Sally Isaacs. The full-page illustrations will make you feel like you are right there with Helen - but you won't have to bundle up to take the journey!"
