In a novel as riveting, irresistible, and heartbreaking as Into Thin
Air, teen climbing prodigies Rose and Tate attempt to summit--and
survive--Mount Everest.
Rose Keller and Tate Russo have been climbing for years, training in
harsh weather and traveling all over the world. The goal that kept them
going? Summiting Mount Everest, the highest point on earth. Accompanied
by Tate's dad, the two will finally make the ultimate climb at the end
of their senior year. But neither Rose nor Tate are fully in the
game--not only is there a simmering romance between them, but Rose can't
get her mind off her mother's illness, while Tate constantly fails to
live up to his ambitious father's standards.
Everyone on their expedition has something to prove, it seems. And not
everyone is making the best decisions while short on oxygen and
exhausted, body and mind. The farther up the mountain they go, the more
their climbing plans unravel and the more isolated each team member
becomes. Rose and Tate will have to dig deep within themselves to
determine what--or who--they value above all else.
