Three New Books by GB Jones at $15.00 each!
Lost in the Alaskan Wilderness
GB Jones had trained harder for the 2007 Iditarod than any of his previous Iditarods. But fate intervened, and with just a couple of hundred miles into the race, his only option was to scratch from the race! His dog, Aafes, had become lost in a severe storm!
With Aafes missing somewhere in the vast Alaska Range and with the storms and the active wolf pack lurking about, some had said that the only thing left of Aafes would be her torn-up blue neoprene jacket. They were wrong!
Eleven agonizing days later, two pilots who had been searching for Aafes found her at Rohn! This little dog had captured the hearts of many people throughout the world, but nobody rejoiced more than the musher!
Upon the urging of friends throughout the years, this incredible story of Aafes has finally been told in a 72-page book entitled “Lost in the Alaskan Wilderness.” The book was published by the Alaskan Gardens Publishing Company in 2021 and is distributed by Todd Communications in Anchorage.
This book tells the story of Aafes rescue and also tells of her other adventures, including her return to Rohn in 2009 on the Alaskan Expedition to get the mountain bike that was used in searching for her.
“Lost in the Alaskan Wilderness” also tells the story of Aafes’ two trips on the Stampede Trail to “the magic bus” and some very unusual things that occurred on these trips.
This book concludes with the 2011 Iditarod where the famous dog Aafes finally crosses the finish line beneath the burled arch in Nome!

Eleven Days
You are probably aware of the true story of the little sled dog Aafes that got lost in the rugged mountains of the Alaska Range for eleven days during the Iditarod sled dog race of 2007.
A new book, entitled Eleven Days, was published by the Alaskan Gardens Publishing Company in 2022. It is a sequel to GB's previous book, Lost in the Alaskan Wilderness, and is an animated account of Aafes' eleven days on the Lam.
This 72-page paperback book is written as if Aafes herself tells the story of where she went during those eleven days, and the unusual cast of characters she met while searching for her lost teammates.
This is a good read for kids of all ages and highlights the bonds which unite people and dogs. Contains color photographs of actual events involving Aafes rescue.
Curl up to a cozy fire and read Aafes’ entertaining version of being lost in the Alaskan wilderness!
The Enchanted Forest
The Enchanted Forest is the story of 8-year-old Luke Proctor, who departs his Montana home and goes to Alaska with his family on a private corporate jet. As they approach the western coast of Alaska, they encounter a severe storm, and the aircraft goes down in the waters of the Bering Sea!
Luke is the sole survivor, and, nearing death, he is rescued by a strange and derelict man on a small island in the Bering Sea. The old man teaches the boy about life and nature but is incapable of getting him off the remote island.
With much perseverance, grit, and determination, Luke devises the ways and means to leave the island, but once gone, he is somewhat reluctant to return to society.
This is a good read for kids from 2 to 102, and especially for those who are lost in the forest of life and can’t readily see the enchantment that exists.
