Dog Driven by Terry Lynn Johnson is a riveting adventure story and a 2021 Forest of Reading Silver Birch nominee. In this book we meet McKenna, a dog-sled musher who sets out to prove her impaired vision won't hold her back from competing in a rigorous race through the Canadian wilderness. For tweens between the ages of 10 to 12 years old.

Registrants will receive an email with the details of how to get the book and join the conversation.

The Forest of Reading Festival is Canada's largest literary event for young readers. To discover more Forest of Reading activities from WPL, click here.
