there is a fifty percent chance that they will. Worth a shot.”

The bill turned into a law almost immediately. Eighty-six percent of the voters said “Yes.” And the president didn’t even consider vetoing it. Aleu was able to start a pack, the Cold Water Pack, but she refused to be the alpha female of it. Amaroq and Jessica came with her from their original pack, and Aleu asked them to be the alphas. They accepted, and the pack went well after. One hunter tried to set a wolf trap, but it was found by a musher and reported. “It caught one of my dogs and created a huge mess. And I don’t know how to undo these things.” Another hunter was seen taking aim at one of the wolves in the new pack, and that was also reported. After that, no one ever dared to attack Aleu’s/Amaroq’s/Jessica’s pack. Including the other new wolf packs in the area.

Aleu introduced Amaroq and Jessica to her mother and father, and they became great friends. One thing that they later found out is that Amaroq is Balto’s brother! After that, Balto, too, became a member of the pack. And Jenna. The pack was not huge, and unlike on St. Lawrence Island they always had enough food, thanks to Rosy and her parents. The pack accepted them, too, as pack members because of this.

With a large, decent, content pack, Aleu, Amaroq, Jessica, Balto, and Aleu look foreword to next year’s adventures, and can’t wait to get it  started. “As I’ve always said, new friends, or pack in this case, means a new life. A new life means more adventures.” said Jessica. “I couldn’t disagree.” said Jenna. And Balto. And Amaroq.

Author’s Note

…Well, I’m not in the book but if I was, I would also agree with Jessica. … I enjoyed writing this book, and I hope you enjoy reading it. I started writing it quite a long time ago, I just didn’t find enough time to write it. I started writing it the summer after fourth grade, now I’m in fifth. I plan to write more books, but they probably will be based on this one, so I recommend reading this book before you read any other books.

About the Author

I have been into the Balto movies ever since I had ever watched one, which was when I was five years old. Now I’m not only into the movies, but the real Balto and the epidemic in Nome, Alaska in 1925. I plan to move to Alaska sometime, and as a hobby, mush dogs. I’ve read all I can about dog mushing and I believe that if you gave me a good team, a decent sled, and all the other gear used in dog mushing, I could drive the dogs.
