From the author of Ice Dogs, comes a riveting adventure about a musher who sets out to prove her impaired vision won't hold her back from competing in a rigorous sled race through the Canadian wilderness. Perfect for fans of Gary Paulsen. McKenna Barney is trying to hide her worsening eyesight and has been isolating herself for the last year. But at the request of her little sister, she signs up for a commemorative mail run race in the Canadian wilderness-a race she doesn't know if she can even see to run. Winning would mean getting her disease-and her sister's-national media coverage, but it would also pit McKenna and her team of eight sled dogs against racers from across the globe for three days of shifting lake ice, sudden owl attacks, snow squalls, and bitterly cold nights. A page-turning adventure about living with disability and surviving the wilderness, Dog Driven is the story of one girl's self-determination and the courage it takes to trust in others.

In Vol. 6, Valiant and Aleta journey to 'The New World,' a 16-month epic that allows Foster to draw some of his spectacular native Canadian backgrounds, and during which Aleta gives birth to Arn. Most of the rest of the book is taken up with the action-packed 'The Mad King,' during which Val, back at Camelot, confronts the evil, fat little King Tourien of Cornwall.
This title concludes the epic tale 'The Winning of Aleta.' This is followed by a sequence called 'Matrimony,' which ends with a newly wed queen adjusting to the luxurious, exciting court life at Camelot. But Val's marriage does not signal an end to his adventures, quite the contrary. In 'War in the Forest,' Val is sent out to spy on encroaching Saxons - unknowingly aided by Aleta, who, disguised as a small knight (and dubbed 'Sir Puny') helps prevent disaster.
In Vol. 7, Valiant now enters the 1950s: The Thule winter is hard and bleak, and a prince who has designs on Aleta must be dealt with. Then it's another epic-length story, 'The Missionaries,' in which Val and several of his fellow knights and crew travel to Rome on a quest for teachers who might bring Christianity to Thule.
