Pugs of the Frozen North x 6 Award-winning team Pack by Philip Reeve (author) and Sarah McIntyre (illustrator) (UK edition)

A wintry race to the Arctic wilds with 66 cute/ugly pugs! The Race to the Top of the World only comes around once in a lifetime. The prize? Your heart’s desire. Shen and Sika can’t resist. But the path to victory is littered with snow trolls, sea monsters, and a gang of very hungry yetis. (As well as fierce rival teams.) Luckily, Shen and Sika have something the other contestants don’t have. PUGS! No less than 66 pugs. That gives them a 264 paw-powered sled! Will they win the race and take the prize? Well, if there’s a prize for cuteness, we reckon they’ve already won it.

Sarah McIntyre

Sarah McIntyre was born in Seattle. She studied Russian literature and art history at Bryn Mawr College and then earned a distinction while doing her Master’s degree in Illustration at Camberwell College of the Arts in London. She brings her love of travel and adventure to her work, and loves the thrill of being a perpetual tourist in London, where she has lived since 1999.

It was whilst studying for her MA that Sarah became interested in comics.‘I had loved comics as a kid, such as Calvin & Hobbes and Archie, but I had sort of lost my way as an adult, thinking comics were mostly about superheroes, which I didn’t like so much. When I was introduced to adult comics by people such as Posy Simmonds and Craig Thompson, I knew I had found a whole new world.’ Read more
