"I cannot understand this woman. I have no desire to pursue unsafe, crazy adventures. I have a lovely, comfortable home and a loving family. Bonkers. She annoys me almost as much as the guy from Into the Wild except she lives."

"Must read for any dog lover. I've heard Helen Thayer talk about her life. She's an amazing woman who had an equally amazing canine partner."

By Samantha, Shingletown, CA

"The Heroic Saga of the first solo journey by a woman and her dog to the pole. Foreword by Sir Edmund Hillary. Includes 8 pages of photos. In 1988, Helen set off to do what no other woman had done- ski (alone) to the magnetic North Pole. At the last minute, she was persuaded to take Charlie, a black husky, with her. Little did she know that Charlie would save her life! An exciting read and easy to read too. My brother Wyatt and I really enjoyed this "adventure" together. :) Suitable for all ages."
