Synopsis:
In all the ways that matter, Mark is a normal kid.
He's got a dog named Beau and a best friend, Jessie. He likes to take photos
and write haiku poems in his notebook. He dreams of climbing a mountain one
day.
But in one important way, Mark is not like other kids
at all. Mark is sick. The kind of sick that means hospitals. And treatments.
The kind of sick some people never get better from.
So Mark runs away. He leaves home with his camera, his
notebook, his dog, and a plan to reach the top of Mount Rainier--even if it's
the last thing he ever does.
The Honest Truth is a rare and extraordinary novel
about big questions, small moments, and the incredible journey of the human
spirit.
