Reviews

"Mimms fills his story with authentic hiking details and excels at describing Eli's mixed emotions about the beauty and dangers of his journey... An intense adventure story about overcoming loss both on one's own and with help." -- Publishers Weekly "Debut novelist Mimms weds hiking know-how to the drama of grief with a steady touch and pitch-perfect tone... A compelling story of one teenager, one trail, a few friends and many ghosts." -- Kirkus Reviews "Eli's determination to pay homage to his dad (another hiker), his love for the forest, and a budding romance with a fellow hiker will engage readers with a nature-loving bent." -- Booklist
