AKIAK: A Tale of the Iditarod--Robert J. Blake--With Shenandoahan Matt Anderson about to compete in the Iditarod, this story might be of interest to many. Written for children (my Grandson had me read it to him), it would be enjoyed by adults, also. As a children's book it is VERY short....however it tells a tale of the Iditarod, some of the rules and gives a feeling for the conditoins of the race. The pictures are wonderful, too!
