as you read through the book, you are taken along with a boy (mark) <battling cancer> who runs away from his home along with his dog (beau), on a journey to climb a mountain <because of a promise he made to his grandfather, who is no more>. the story as a whole is a quite emotional one. the writing however is witty in a few instances but without diluting the situation. you get to feel all that he feels throughout the journey - his fear, his anger, his guilt, his grief, the little moments that bring him joy. absolutely loved it. shoutout to beau (his dog) <3
