The Courage Test by James Preller

4.0

Will is stuck on a two week trek with his dad, exploring the Lewis & Clark trail. Will is missing his at the All-Star baseball team for this trip that he doesn't even want to go on. But slowly, the trip wins him over--his *dad* wins him over.
Light adventure, family dynamics, and a peppering of historical fact and allegory. Include in upper elementary and middle school libraries, but expect to do some hand-selling.
