Suzette Bruggeman Ordre des livres

Suzette, qui a grandi à glaner des pignons de pin et des pointes de flèches entre les anciens territoires de Butch Cassidy et l'actuelle Zone 51, se retrouve déconcertée par un pays de glace et de neige. Ce lien profond avec la nature et l'aventure informe son œuvre, mêlant l'esprit d'exploration à une profonde appréciation de la nature sauvage. Auteure-compositrice de longue date et collaboratrice de plusieurs comédies musicales, elle apporte une approche créative et passionnée à son écriture. Ses récits sont imprégnés des échos de l'histoire et de la beauté du monde naturel, puisant son inspiration dans les paysages accidentés qu'elle appelle désormais chez elle.

Even if Nico the Mosquito didn't remind Spencer every day at school that he's a big, fat loser, there's no way Spencer could forget. For starters, there's that tackle he missed in the big game on Saturday. His stupid leg can't grow muscle, and when you run like a three-legged dog, it's hard to make even the easiest tackle. He's the worst athlete ever! It's fitting that his team of sled dogs is made up of a bunch of misfits like him. Why did he have to be born this way?Life is hard and sometimes disappointing for twelve-year-old Spencer, but when he and his team of misfit sled dogs get lost in a blizzard during their first 100-mile race through some of the wildest backcountry on earth, he discovers that it's grit more than talent that makes a champion. Having courage far surpasses being popular any day. Maybe Spencer's disability isn't destined to hold him back after all!
