They were going to race in the Iditarod together as a team because her father had been injured and couldn't go through with it. So she trains for the Iditarod and finally the day comes when It's tim to start. Along the way they never expected it to be as cold as it was, a bull moos, ice that could crack and splinter at any moment.

Review: I give this book a five, because it was really good and did not want to put it down. I also liked the part when she helped the person that wrecked. The author of this book must have a great imagination. He wrote many good books like Island of the Blue Dolphins. That book was realistic too.

Review: I read this book for a seventh grade english class. It was a good book and it proves that girls are just as good maybe even better than guys. It also proves the uncanny relationship that dogs have with people.

Summary: A VERY GOOD BOOK!
Review: I read this for a seventh grade advanced class. I like this book, because you never know what is going to happen next in it. I thought for sure i knew what was going to go on, and the exact opposite happened! I also like the way that Scott O'dell made this book. All of the characters are formed well and you knew exactly what he was talking about. It has a lot of adventure in it, that is one of the many good things about this book. For anyone who likes adventure stories I think this would be a good book for them to read. I really enjoyed it. In some parts of the book I really felt sorry for Bright Dawn, but a lot of the other parts were happy. I loved reading about Bright Dawn, Black Star and all of the others going out on their adventures. The suspence, the adventures, the real life situations, and much more is what kept me in it. If you read it I am sure you will agree with me too.

Summary: ICY ODYSSEY
Review: It is refreshing to have a female heroine to counter Paulsen's male survival specialists. Bright Dawn is a teenage Eskimo girl whose father has trained her to handle a dog sled, after the death of her older brother. In defiance of their social customs, she trains in a male-dominated area of expertise. When her father is forced to withdraw as the village's representative in Alaska's gruelling Iditarod, he urges his daughter to take his place, since village money and honor are at stake. It takes an incredible combination of factors to win this thousand-mile race across arctic wastes; knowledge of huskies and use of all supplies, wisdom in determining when to stop and when to continue; experience with human nature since other contestants may use foul means or sly tricks to leave competitors behind. And never underestimate the forces of vicious and capricious Nature: weather, topography, wild animals. Bright star learns to trust her beloved dog, Black Star (part Husky-part wolf) for many things, including her very life. But can she trust herself--her knowledge of dog teams and which of the entrants to believe. Can she expect compassion or help from the others, who are just as determined to win the prize for their village or city? She is not the only female in the race, but will the women prove more kindly or vulnerable? Bright Star learns much from this race, especially about her worst enemy: Fear. This brave heroine is torn between Eskimo superstition and her modern education. Is there place for good sportsmanship in the Iditarod? This exciting tale of survival in the Alaskan wilderness will captivate readers of all ages.

Summary: A thrilling, touching adventure
Review: Scott O'Dell once again creates a stirring novel about ateenager set out on one of the most dangerous races ever. Her fatheris injured while training, so she takes his place. From then on, it is a race for not only 1st place but for her life. She puts her life completely into the hands of her dogs. You come to realize how much she needs them, and if one of them dies, it is as bad as her dying. It makes you wonder at the danger people will put themselves in, and selfishness and courage, and most of all, loyalty and trust. After I read it, I could think of nothing else. It is one of the most inspirering books that I have ever read.
