FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Two teens uncover a secret hidden in the Cascade Mountains that spans generations, stringing together family skeletons, lost stories, and a discovery of love and self in this tense and emotional young adult thriller with "great holds, great movement, and a worthwhile finish" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).Cara is on the cusp of adventure. Unlike her best friends, she doesnt want to go to college, she wants different kinds of challenges. And anyway, home just doesnt fit anymore. She is growing distant from her friends and hasnt spoken to her father in eons. To make matters worse, her ex-boyfriend and fellow climber, Nat, has popped back into town after breaking up with her over text. So its the perfect time to leave, and she has big plans for a gap year to rock-climb in Patagonia. But when Cara hears that her father is actually missing, things change. While trying to track him down, she discovers a trail of clues centering around the history and life of the legendary mountaineer, outdoorsman, author, and all-around climber (or "dirtbag"), Beckett Friedrichs. And unfortunately, the only person who knows enough about Friedrichs to make sense of any of this is Nat. Their search for Caras father will lead into the Cascade Mountains, up a harrowing rock face, and through time as Nat and Cara explore the history of World War II with the impact of Pearl Harbor and its Japanese Incarceration Camps, Caras family, and each other.
