The Iditarod--to most people, it's an exciting and exotic dogsled race through the toughest terrain in Alaska, but for Bill O'Malley, it's a mission of redemption. But the question remains: can he navigate not only the wilderness, but also his own relationship to the race and the people he encounters along the way? Meanwhile, his daughter Puck, son Joseph, and their friend Mary face challenges of their own with Dad away. A mysterious house with a dark past beckons them into rule-breaking and scary encounters with new and old enemies. Stars of the North is a thrilling tale of life in the snowiest parts of the Yukon and Alaska, where survival means depending on your family, your friends, and most of all, your instincts.
