The Mountain Story by Lori Lansens
5.0
Wowza! Great action packed novel. Absolutely perfect for older teens to read and a possible choice for reluctant readers as the entire book had me on tenterhooks as I was reading.
On the day of his eighteenth birthday, Wolf Truly heads to the mountain to end it all. The mountain has given him some of his greatest happiness but also, his worst pain and and crushing guilt. A family stops Wolf for help finding a hidden lake and a panicked situation finds Wolf and the Devine women (Nola, Bridget and Vonn) fighting for their lives on the mountaintop.
The book is written as a story to Wolf's son, explaining what happened on that mountain so long ago, and talks about Wolf's life up to the point, the death of his mother, his deadbeat Dad and his relationship with his best friend Byrd.
