It's the winter of 1924 and a diphtheria outbreak is threatening the population of Nome, Alaska. The only way to stop the deadly illness from causing a full-blown epidemic is to immediately deliver one million units of the diphtheria antitoxin to the affected communities, which seems impossible given the only way to reach any place in Alaska at this time of year is by dog sled. The stakes are high, and the snow is piling higher - will the antitoxin make it in time? Or will the infection spread faster than they can treat it?Follow along as Balto and Togo lead the way in this race against time to get the antitoxin and save lives.

Helen Moss grew up in the beautiful rolling countryside of Worcestershire and a remote corner of Saudi Arabia. Helen now lives in a village near Cambridge with her computer-scientist husband, two sons, and some dogs and hens. When she's not writing, she likes walking in the countryside with the dogs, running (without the dogs, who just trip her over), climbing up mountains and skiing down-and reading, of course.helenmoss.org.ukSolomon Hughes studied graphic design at Pratt Institute in his hometown of Brooklyn, New York. At age eight, his work was displayed in the Guggenheim, and at seventeen, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He looks at works from the past and present to expand his skills and craft. Solomon lives at home with his parents, two sisters, two turtles, and one puppy.designinhues.com/solomonhughes
