The Honest Truth by Dan GemeinhartMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Marc is sick. Mark has been sick for a long time, and doesn't know how much more he can take. He's been dealing with cancer throughout his whole childhood and has decided he is done fighting. Marc and his dog Beau are leaving - forever. It has been Marc's dream to climb Mt. Rainier and he will get there or die trying to.
I wasn't even sure I was going to read it when I bought it for the library, and then something kept drawing me to it. I'm so glad I did. This book brought me to tears. A boy and his dog - that's all you need to get started, the words on the page will do the rest. I am excited to recommend this book to all students! I know some boys and girls who will love it! Don't pass it up.
