Synopsis
A thrilling mystery set against a stark landscape and the inspiration of Nome's real-life dog hero, Balto.
Twelve-year-old Tee has just moved to Nome, Alaska, with her writer father and sullen little brother, Jack. Jack isn't happy about the idea of living in the middle of nowhere, but Tee and her dog Henry are thrilled -- so much open space to run around and sniff!
But on a walk near their new house, Henry spots something that has him seriously spooked. Tee sees a mysterious shadow, and it seems to be following them. Have they disturbed a restless spirit? And what other secrets might this dark place be holding?

About the Author
Elizabeth Cody Kimmel lives with her family in New York's Hudson Valley. Elizabeth is the author of many books for children, including The Invention of Moxie Roosevelt, Balto and the Great Race, and the Suddenly Supernatural Series. She spends her spare time reading, hiking, singing in the choir, rock climbing, and trying to communicate telepathically with her beagle.
From Booklist
Something is haunting Tee from the woods of Dorothy Creek. The seventh-grader has sensed its presence ever since arriving in Nome, Alaska, for a two-week trip while her author father gathers research for his latest book. From local dog-whisperer tween, Quin, she learns about the ghost dog that prowls the vicinity, and from former Iditarod race participant, Clay, she hears stories about Balto’s famous serum run that saved lives from diphtheria in 1925. Tee and Quin can’t help but wonder if the ghost dog is none other than the famous Balto. Intermittent chapters from the ghost dog’s original owner fill in the story’s gaps and add another layer of suspense with the disappearance of a little girl 50 years earlier. After an unexpected snowstorm leaves the girls stranded, the ghost dog leads them to shelter, where they uncover the truth about both mysteries. Kimmel’s descriptions of the Alaskan wilderness and just the right amount of creepiness will provide readers, especially dog lovers, with a gripping adventure. Grades 4-7. --Angela Leeper
