A heartwarming and inspiring adventure about second chances, family, and finding your own path. After getting caught vandalizing a cemetery, seventh-grader Finn Connelly faces serious consequences. But instead of punishment, he’s given an unusual challenge: climb all forty-six Adirondack High Peaks in one summer—with a stubborn dog by his side.
As Finn tackles muddy trails, steep mountains, and unexpected obstacles, he begins to learn more about the legendary climber whose grave he damaged, his late father, and himself.
Filled with humor, friendship, and unforgettable outdoor adventures, this award-winning novel explores grief, resilience, and what it truly means to be a hero. Perfect for readers who enjoy stories of personal growth, perseverance, and the great outdoors.
