Items related to Legend of the Ghost Dog
A thrilling mystery set against a stark landscape and the inspiration of Nome's real-life dog hero, Balto.
Twelve-year-old Tee didn't think she believed in ghosts . . . until a walk in the woods around her new rural Alaskan home changes her mind. She and her beagle, Henry, are stalked by a wolfish, decidedly spooky shadow. There's something out there - and it's not of this world.
With Henry and new friend Quin in tow, Tee is determined to capture evidence of the ghost and unravel the mystery of its origins. But with every sighting, the ghostly presence of the Shadow seems to gain strength. This ghost dog may pose a real live threat - that is, unless Tee can stop it.

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
