Stone Fox

Ten year old Willy lives on a potato farm with his grandfather in Wyoming. They enjoy each other’s company and live a fairly routine life. Then one morning, Grandfather fails to wake Willy up like usual. Willy finds Grandfather very sick, but according to the doctor, Grandfather is as healthy as can be. Apparently, he has simply lost the will to live. Willy can not figure out why until one day they have a surprise visitor. Willy learns that the property taxes on the farm have not been paid for over ten years, and they are in danger of losing the farm. Although the townspeople encourage Willy to sell the farm, he instead decides to enter the National Dogsled Race in hopes of paying the taxes with the prize money. His main competitor is Stone Fox, a man who has never lost a race in his life. It is literally a fight to the death as Willy races to save Grandfather’s farm. ~ Enh
