From the publisher

An extraordinary journey of instinct and survival from the author of Gentle Ben When Andy Evans stumbles upon the snow-covered wreckage of a small plane, he’s shocked to find a survivor. Should he put the gravely injured dog out of his misery? The look in the animal’s eyes says he’s not ready to die. It turns out that Kävik’s a champion sled dog, and soon he makes a full recovery. When his rightful owner finds out Kävik is alive, he wants the dog back. But Kävik has other ideas. “Swiftly paced from the first page . . . dramatic and absorbing.”–The Horn Book
