(4) 4-6 When twelve-year-old Mark learns his cancer has returned, he runs away to climb Mount Rainier with his dog, Beau; the trip could be a chance to fulfill a dying wish or it could be a suicide mission. Mark's journey across Washington state unfolds dramatically to a harrowing climax, but the characters' tendency to philosophize can be grating at times.
