While living with his father he writes down what is going on in his life as a final assignment for his English class. Once he moves in with his father, he discovers that his father has a goal for him to become the youngest person to reach the summit of Mount Everest. I believe the spike will be successful, but not without some obstacles along the way. I also think he will learn a lot from the experience with his father and from mountain climbing. From what I've read in advance it seems like this book will be a suspenseful, action-packed novel based on the fictional first-person setting. After seeing the preview of the novel, I think this is an opportunity to enjoy the book as I understand the position of being misunderstood.
