The Iditarod is run between Anchorage to Nome, Alaska.

It is an endurance test Gary Paulsen finished 42 out of

73 racers.

Woodsong is not a book about competing. It is a story about how he changed.

Woodsong is a book about ignorance that comes from thinking you know it all.

Woodsong includes autobiographical sketches not told in chronological order, but as if you were sitting around a campfire with Gary and he was telling stories.

There are graphic and bloody parts and wildly funny parts.
