Description: Dogsong by Gary Paulsen A fourteen-year-old Eskimo boy who feels at odds with aspects of modern life takes a 1400-mile journey by dog sled across ice, tundra, and mountains seeking his own "song" of himself. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In the Old Days There Were Songs Something is bothering Russel Susskit. He hates waking up to the sound of his fathers coughing, the smell of diesel oil, the noise of snow machines starting up. Only Oogruk, the shaman who owns the last team of dogs in the village, understands Russels longing for the old ways and the songs that celebrated them. But Oogruk cannot give Russel the answers he seeks; the old man can only prepare him for what he must do alone. Driven by a strange, powerful dream of a long-ago self and by a burning desire to find his own song, Russel takes Oogruks dogs on an epic journey of self-discovery that will change his life forever.
