"The Great Serum Race: Blazing the Iditarod Trail" by Jon Van Zyle recounts the thrilling true story of the 1925 serum run to Nome, Alaska. When a diphtheria outbreak threatens the town's children, a relay of dog sled teams races across treacherous terrain to deliver life-saving medicine. Led by the legendary musher Leonhard Seppala and his lead dog Togo, the journey pits humans and their courageous canine companions against extreme weather and the perilous Alaskan wilderness. The gripping narrative highlights themes of bravery, teamwork, and the unbreakable bond between dogs and their mushers in the face of daunting odds.
