The Honest Truth

By: Dan Gemeinhart

Narrated by: Nick Podehl

The debut of a phenomenal new middle-grade talent.

In all the ways that matter, Mark is a normal kid. He's got a dog named Beau and a best friend, Jessie. He likes to take photos and write haiku poems in his notebook. He dreams of climbing a mountain one day.

But in one important way, Mark is not like other kids at all. Mark is sick. The kind of sick that means hospitals. And treatments. The kind of sick some people never get better from.

So Mark runs away. He leaves home with his camera, his notebook, his dog, and a plan to reach the top of Mount Rainier - even if it's the last thing he ever does.

The Honest Truth is a rare and extraordinary novel about big questions, small moments, and the incredible journey of the human spirit.

That's the truth. It is very interesting and I could visualize it very well and it was outstanding.

fantastic adventure story for middle grade

this is great adventure story for Middle School students. reading it as an adult the explanation of the lessons at the end can be a little heavy-handed but they are a great catalyst for classroom discussion. plenty of tension and drama.
