Twelve-year-old Gilly knows the names of all the famous mushers and admires the women most of all. Gilly wants to join this brave group of women and complete the dogsled race herself. The only problem? She likes cats. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ Gilly's dad, an experienced Iditarod racer, is doubtful of Gilly's goal, but she wastes no time proving him wrong. After all, she already has two cats, Lola and Shadow, and after a few fateful encounters, is able to recruit seven more intrepid felines. Gilly's good fortune continues: her mom and dad will be away on vacation the very same time as the race! Though Gilly has luck and determination on her side, her journey will be challenging.
