A bold new voice in children\'s fiction debuts with this story of a boy, his dog, and the mountains they face together.
The Honest Truth is a rare and extraordinary novel about big questions, small moments, and one incredible journey..
Even if it\'s the last thing he ever does.
A plan to reach the top of Mount Rainier.
He leaves home with his camera, his notebook, his dog, and a plan.
So Mark runs away.
The kind of sick some people never get better from.
And treatments.
The kind of sick that means hospitals.
Mark is sick.
But in one important way, Mark is not like other kids at all.
He dreams of climbing a mountain one day.
He likes to take photos and write haiku poems in his notebook.
He\'s got a dog named Beau and a best friend, Jessie.
In all the ways that matter, Mark is a normal kid.
It\'s never too late for the adventure of a lifetime.
