"Themes of friendship and problem-solving are slipped effortlessly into the funny and fresh plot, and authentic off-the-grid details bring the story to life . . . A tale of loyalty and friendship--with a strong dose of validation for readers who learn from doing rather than books--that hits all the right notes." --Kirkus "From contending with school bullies to increasingly learning to valuehis family and their off-the-grid lifestyle, Matt's experiences are supportively portrayed in accessibly written, straightforward prose. Johnson incorporates both lively and reflective moments, abundant dogsledding details, and basic accounting concepts and examples." --Booklist
