This month we’re chatting about The Honest Truth by Dan Gemeinhart
An unforgettable journey of courage, friendship, and determination in this moving debut that has already earned a place in the Scholastic Gold line of classics.
Mark is, in many ways, just like any other kid. He has a loyal dog named Beau, a best friend named Jessie, a love of taking photos, and a notebook filled with haiku poems. But Mark is also very different: he’s sick—the kind of sick that means hospital visits, endless treatments, and a future filled with uncertainty.
Tired of feeling powerless, Mark makes a bold decision. With Beau by his side, he runs away from home, determined to fulfill his dream of climbing Mount Rainier. Armed only with his dog’s devotion, his camera, and his notebook, Mark sets out on an adventure that is both dangerous and breathtaking. It’s a journey filled with challenges and risks, but also moments of wonder, beauty, and the kind of truth that only comes from following your heart.
Beyond the adventure, this a heartfelt exploration of bravery, friendship, and the choices we make when time feels short. It asks readers to think about what really matters, what it means to live fully, and how love and loyalty can carry us through even the hardest times.
Join us as we discuss this extraordinary book that will inspire laughter, tears, and plenty of thoughtful conversation.
