The author of this book was 15 when she wrote and illustrated Glory Trail. This would be a great book to read to upper elementary or middle school students.
This realistic fiction is the story of Seth McCallay, a young boy and his training and competitions in the 810-mile sled race from Toronto to Thunder Bay, Canada. Many facts and details about sled dog racing can be learned while reading and discussing this book. This book also serves as a testimony to the talents students have.
A young writer would find encouragement in reading such a fine work by a 15-year-old. This book may help inspire young authors.
