HTML: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. Cara is on the cusp of adventure. Unlike her best friends, she doesn't want to go to college, she wants different kinds of challenges. And anyway, home just doesn't fit anymore. She is growing distant from her friends and hasn't 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 it's 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 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 Cara's father will lead into the Cascade Mountains, up a harrowing rock face, and navigating through time as Nat and Cara explore the history of World War II with the impact of Pearl Harbor and its Japanese Incarceration Camps, Cara's family, and each other.

It turns out Dad has gone to climb a peak, allegedly the only one a famous hiker/climber never summited in their part of the country. If Cara is going to find her father, she needs Nat's help. Their detective work is blended with entries from a diary beginning just before World War Two that gradually reveal part of the mystery that has her father trying to summit the peak. The author's knowledge of technical climbing, the gradual revelations about what happened many years ago, and the way Cara and Nat slowly open back up to each other are combined to create a real page turner that subtly opens readers' eyes to how devastating the internment of Japanese Americans was during the war. Terrific read all the way around. ( )
