Dogsong
What's it about
Ever feel disconnected from the modern world, lost and searching for your true purpose? Discover how a 14-year-old boy, armed with only a team of sled dogs and the wisdom of his ancestors, embarks on a perilous journey to find himself in the vast, unforgiving Alaskan wilderness. This gripping coming-of-age story will transport you into a world of ancient traditions and raw survival. You'll learn how embracing the old ways—listening to the songs of the dogs and the spirits of the land—can help you navigate the challenges of your own life and forge a powerful new identity.
Meet the author
A three-time Newbery Honor recipient and celebrated voice in young adult literature, Gary Paulsen drew his profound understanding of survival from a life of intense adventure. His experiences, which included running the grueling Iditarod dogsled race twice, directly inspired the raw authenticity and wilderness wisdom found in his novel, Dogsong. Paulsen's own journey from a difficult childhood to a life of self-reliance in the wild gave him the unique perspective to write such powerful and enduring stories.
