Description
Balto was only three years old when he helped carry serum across Alaska from Nenana to Nome to save the town's children from diphtheria. He became an overnight sensation - but much more happened after that. That is what this book is about. Balto lived for eight more years. And how does the new story end? With a heart-thumping surprise that you can't imagine - and neither could have Balto.--Cover
