This book is filled with different emotions, love and much, much more! When I had finished the book, it made me cry even though it ended with a happy ending…
Mark was an ordinary boy until his cancer came back. He just knew that he could not bear this pain anymore, so he decided to climb a mountain; a mountain that would make his heart tremble. A mountain called Mount Rainier.
My favourite character was Mark's dog called Beau because he was always by Mark's side when he was in need of help. When Mark was jumping across the breaking ice on Mount Rainier and there was 60% chance of Beau falling off, Beau still jumped but fell through the horrendously huge gap.
The author has described the book in every way in a lot of detail. They have expressed how the characters feel when they are in different situations. Some of these words may be hard to understand for young people, so I would recommend this book for 11+.
Out of ten, (because I liked this book so much) I will rate it 10/10.
