Description

★ From award winning author Dianna Dorisi Winget comes this exciting and suspenseful survival story based on the life of Alaska's famous bull terrier, Patsy Ann. Three against the North is sure to be a hit with dog lovers of all ages. ★

Twelve year old Penny Brighton is so tired of trying to convince her father she doesn't need to be babied just because she's a girl. So when he sends her to Alaska to stay with her uncle during the waning days of the Great Depression, Penny is thrilled with the opportunity to explore the world. But she doesn't expect to face a missing uncle, a new friend, Bitty, who's being forced to undergo barbaric medical treatments, or a deaf bull terrier with mysterious abilities. When Bitty disappears during a blizzard, Penny faces a life threatening decision.

 Should she ask for help, or give in to the urge to prove herself once and for all?  

A historical fiction tale that's equal parts adventure and a heartwarming story of friendship and true courage. 

Perfect for independent reading or use in the classroom. Includes author notes and discussion questions.

Advance Praise

Three Against the North is an exciting story set in 1930s Alaska, featuring three endearing characters, Bitty from Juneau, Penny from Seattle and the beloved bull terrier Patsy Ann and her magical powers. As a former Alaskan and writer, I can attest to the accuracy of Winget's evocative historical details that bring Penny and Bitty's adventures to life in such a dramatic setting. It is a great read that reveals the importance of friends, family and our canine friends dogs to help us survive life's challenges - then and now. I highly recommend, for both kids and adults --Claire Rudolf Murphy, author of Gold Rush Dogs

It pulled at my heart strings and left me loving all three characters, especially Patsy-Ann. A great story woven around a true life heroic dog that gives you a glimpse into life of an earlier Juneau. A must read for any ages! --H. H. Hauser, author of Miles and the Moon Cave
