Summary: Black Star Bright Dawn
Review: This book was hard to understand and had a lot of hard words in it, but besides that I thought that this was a cool book. My favorite part of the book was when they had to stop and camp for a while, and lived off of trout. I only gave this book three stars because in the beginning chapters it was so boring, but the more and more I read the more and more I started liking the book, so that's why I gave this book three stars.

Summary: How Much I liked This book
Review: This book, Black Star, Bright Dawn is really good, and I have read it quite a few times. The author, Scott O'dell had written many award-winning books, such as The Black Pearl, Island Of the Blue Dolphins, and many more. In this book, Bright Dawn runs the Iditirod Dog sled race when her father is injured and loses a hand to severe frostbite. Bright Dawn wants to run the race in the place of her father but he dosen't think she can because she is a girl, and no girl has ever been in the race before. When he finally lets her go, he does not want her to put her dog, Black Star, in front because he is half wolf. Bright Dawn finally convinces her father to let her go, and she sets out. The book really discribes the dangers of the race, from the moose that can kill you or your sled dogs, to avalanches and the ever constant threat of loosing limbs to frostbite.

Review: This is a great book that I think many girls would like to read because it is a great adventure story with non-stop excitement! It's about a teenage eskimo girl who takes her father's place in the great Iditorod 1000 mile sled race and finds that the trail is not as easy as she thought it would be. She meets up with many people, including another racer who becomes her great friend.

Summary: Not One of My Favorites, But Still Good
Review: This isn't one of Scott O'Dell's best books in my opinion, but it is still good. I recomend Island of the Blue Dolphins, but about Black Dawn, Bright Star. It starts out with Bright Dawn's father, Bartok, who is in a 1,000 mile dogsled race. While Bartok is practicing, he falls off his sled and breaks his shoulder. He asks bright Dawn to race for him, and she does. Bright Star leades a dogsled pack from Anchorage to nome. it is called the Idiarod dogsled race. Black Dawn is the leader of the dogsled pack. he is stubborn, being the leader of the pack. In the end she makes it and gets first place. She only gets $50,000 of the $200,000 though, beacause she is a girl. She also gets $2,500 for the Sportsmanship Award. She is happy, even though she didn't get the $500,000, because she earned a lot more then she ever has before.
