內容簡介: |
Little Willy has a big job to do. When his grandfather falls
ill, it is up to Willy alone to save their farm from the tax
collector. But where can a ten-year-old get five hundred dollars in
a hurry? Then Willy sees the poster for the National Dogsled Race.
The race pits Willy against the best dog teams in the country,
including the Indian Stone Fox and his five beautiful Samoyeds, who
have never lost a race. And Stone Fox wants the prize money as
badly as Willy does. Willy''s dog, Searchlight, is every bit as fast
as the competition, and Willy knows the terrain better than anyone.
But can one boy and one dog be a match for the unbeatable Stone
Fox?
