FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Benson’s Race

Fort Lauderdale, February 2009: Few children want to hear about working hard, being responsible, or earning the things they desire. However, everyone wants to know about racing through the Alaskan wilderness in the Iditarod, and when the skills and ethics of adulthood are innocently couched in a charming story about Husky puppies, the idea that “a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down” takes on new meaning.

Benson’s Race, a new book by Marilyn Clements, tells the story of Benson, a Siberian Husky, who wants to be a racer. Giving up puppy parties and other puppy pleasures to work out on his treadmill is the first of many lessons he learns on his long road to lead Husky. When his youthful exuberance results in a sled crash, he learns about responsibility too. But it’s during the actual race that Benson discovers that not everyone is as honest as his trainer. While crossing a dangerous stretch, Benson leaves the pack to go after Rosie, a red-furred husky dognapped by Zelda, the evil musher. Can Benson save her? And will rescuing her cost him the race?

Addressing family, work ethics, responsibility, and tolerance of others, this touching, yet action-packed story teaches valuable lessons we all must learn. The characters come alive through magnificent illustrations. Benson’s Race is recommended for fourth through sixth graders, but is wonderful for reading to younger children as well.

Author, Marilyn Clements, has always held a place in her heart for animals, and shares her Connecticut home with a Siberian husky named BeBe. A businesswoman and professional speaker, Marilyn works hard to find the magic that life holds, and never stops reaching for her dreams. Her latest, of course, is writing her next children's book.
