About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 1-3 Miss Mallard is invited to Alaska to launch the annual dogsled races. But the Totem Avenger steals a puppy belonging to Nina, the husky who had been favored to win, and now Nina is too upset to race. The ducktective's investigations cause her to snowshoe through snowy mountains on the trail of perpetrators Vera and Arnold Drake, the heads of the Chamber of Commerce in Duckton, who had hired Jed Merganzer as the Totem Avenger. Jed only wanted money, but the Drakes wanted the sheriff to look bad so they could take over the town. Young readers may wonder about the Drakes' motivations and about how Miss Mallard's major clue, a piece of yarn, ended up in her knitting bag. These lapses in plot are overshadowed by the intriguing setting and the desire to see Nina reunited with her puppy. Ellen Fader, Westport Public Library, Conn.
