Description/Notes
A Race Against Time Little Willy's grandfather is sick, and it's up to Willy to save their farm from tax collectors. Their only hope is the prize money from the National Dogsled Race. But a lot of other people want to win the race, too, including Stone Fox, who has never lost a race in his life. Do Willy and his dog Searchlight stand a chance against the toughest racers around? Can they win the race to save the farm -- and Grandfather -- before it's too late?
Ten-year-old Willy competes against the Indian mountain man, Stone Fox, in the national dogsled races.
Little Willie hopes to pay the back taxes on his grandfather's farm with the purse from a dog sled race he enters.
