Hello Boys and Girls,
Just the other day I had a chance to talk with author Marianne Schlegelmilch. If you are looking for a book to read, try one of Marianne’s books. When you are done reading, leave comments and questions about the books. I can’t wait to hear what you think about the books. If you ask a good question to the author, maybe Marianne will stop by the site and answer it.
Do you want to know more about the books? Keep reading!
Solo Flite is a story about a lost young puppy who ends up living at the kennel of Joe Redington. There he begins a life of exciting adventure, starting with the day Joe shows him the Iditarod trail for the first time and later taking him to his own incredible finish in Nome. Along the way, he meets a team of other very special dogs including one big surprise meeting that you will want to read for yourself.
Later, in the book Coho Waterboy, the Flat-Footed, Web-footed Alaska Sled Dog, Solo takes the young Coho under his guidance and inspires Coho to overcome his disadvantages and gain the confidence he needs to earn his own special moment in Nome. Not only does Coho become the darling of the tourists at Iditarod Headquarters, but he also learns to hone his instincts and become a team player as he does what he was told he could never do, and runs in the Iditarod race.
Both Solo Flite and Coho Waterboy will show you that heart and spirit go a long way in making life’s adventures the best they can be.
Marianne wants her readers to know that she will be working this winter of 2009/2010 on a third book featuring Solo, Coho and a new dog named Aero –tentatively titled, Aero–Adventures of an Iditarod Air Force Alaska Sled Dog.
Each of these children’s books written by Marianne are fictional stories about The Last Great Race. She hopes her readers will find them not only entertaining, but warm examples of the Alaskan spirit set amidst the adventure of the one thousand mile race to Nome known as Iditarod.

I’ve been so inspired by Ididarod, but never been, and love dogs no matter what breed, but certainly respect the athlectic breed. I rode competiviley horseback since a kid. My back issues have since stopped that. I know how to prepare for Olympic stage performance, which is what these dogs do, and more. I want to meet them and roll with them very badly. I look forward to being there in 2010. My Dream Forever. Hope you are there. Cricket
Hi Zuma,
The Iditarod is what inspired me to be a musher. That dream hasn’t come true yet, but I’m sure it will, and now I get to meet the coolest K-9 reporter there is! Anyway, do you know
if SOLO FLITE is available in bookstores? If you do, please text back because that sounds like a really good book.
