What Others Are Saying:
The best mushers are born 'doggy'. From birth they are drawn towards canine companions and eat, sleep and dream dogs. The best mushers also seem to overcome significant adversity in their lives. Aisling has both qualities and seems destined to become a champion.
- Dave Steele, Executive Director, International Sled Dog Racing Association

I think this is a great story; it has a lot to say about what a person can do with determination and drive. Aisling's Quest or Aisling's quest or Eye on the Iditarod also explores the relationship between musher and dogs and gives a lot of accurate detail about the care and training of the dogs. It's a long way from Maine to Nome, but I think one day Aisling will make it to the Iditarod. You'll have to write a sequel! Good job, Aisling, your Mom, too!
- Libby Riddles, 1st Woman Champion of the Iditarod & Author

The messages in this book are extremely well demonstrated. It shows commitment, goal-setting, family values, sportsmanship, humane treatment of animals, learning to trust in someone other than yourself, overcoming fear, endurance, pride in achieving a goal, and we learn some interesting and relevant historical facts about dog mushing. This story has broad appeal…it has the magic of three elements - female, animal, and adventure.

Across the world, dreams such as Aisling's are taking shape. Setting goals, working hard, and meeting challenges leads to an interesting life!
