Sled Dog School

Description

Eleven-year-old Matt is struggling in school and he has to set up his own business to save his failing math grade. But what is he even good at? The only thing he truly loves is his team of dogs, and so Matt’s Sled Dog School is born in a funny and heartfelt dogsledding adventure. Teaching dogsledding should be easy, right? But people, just like dogs, can be unpredictable. And sometimes the bravest thing a person can do is admit they need help. Like Terry Lynn Johnson’s popular Ice Dogs , Sled Dog School is a middle grade book about overcoming adversity, forging an unlikely friendship, discovering your strengths, and following your passions. In this adventure, Matt’s biggest lessons won’t come from a textbook. Reluctant Hero: Eleven-year-old Matt is better with his sled dogs than with people. Now he has to teach both to save his failing math grade. Found Family: He’s joined by Tubbs, a new friend who can’t stay on a sled, and Alex, a rival who seems good at everything. Coming of Age Story: A funny, heartfelt story about discovering that your greatest strengths can be found in the things you love most. Books for Dog Lovers: Perfect for young readers who love adventure, friendship, and of course, a whole team of amazing sled dogs.
