Can she win his trust ... and win the race?

April Wood is no stranger to adventure. After all, she lives in the Arctic and her best friend is a polar bear. But when April finds herself volunteering for the Polar Race - a long-distance dog sled race across the frozen tundra - even she wonders if this may be an adventure too far.

April will need all the help she can get if she's to make it to the finish line. And competition is fierce - with experienced dog sledders, including new boy Finn, who will go to any lengths to win.

But April has something the other teams don't: Blaze, a solitary husky with a troubled past, who may just prove to be her secret weapon...

With illustrations by the award-winning Levi Pinfold, The Lone Husky is a breathtaking adventure that will take readers on an unforgettable journey through the Arctic and reunite them with some beloved characters.
