When adiptheria epidemic breaks out in isolated Nome, Alaska, in January1925, the only way to get life-saving serum to the town is by usingdog-sled relay teams. Twenty teams participate, and the dog whoinevitably gets credit for saving the town is Balto, lead dog on thefinal team which delivered the serum. But few people have ever heard of12-year-old Togo and his musher Leonard Seppala, who carried the serumfor almost double the length of any other team, and twice violatedwarnings to avoid perilous Norton Sound and instead ran straight overthe frozen ice! With realistic black-and-white illustrations by TimJessell—plus an appendix with information about Siberian huskies, sleddogs, mushers, and more—Togo’s tale is perfect for middle-grade readerswho love a spunky underdog!
