Description
Cat Taylor is furious when her cousin steals her fatherâs ashes to scatter on the mountainâbut when they get caught in a blizzard, can the two work together to survive?
Cat Taylorâs father and uncle, a famous search-and-rescue team, died on Storm Mountain two years ago, and Cat and her mother still canât seem to move on. When her mom goes away on business for the weekend, Cat thinks she has the house to herselfâuntil her cousin Ty suddenly shows up at her door, claiming his dad visited him in a dream and told him to scatter the two brothersâ ashes at the mountainâs summit. Cat refuses; how can Ty ask her to let go of her dad? But when she wakes up the next morning, Cat discovers that Ty has gone to Storm Mountainâand he took her fatherâs ashes with him.
Determined to stop Ty before he does something crazy, Cat races up the mountain after him. But when a huge snowstorm rolls in and traps them, Cat and Ty realize they could be in more danger than they ever imagined.
âThis is a fast-paced survival story, heavy on action and climbing details. . . . Itâs hard not to root for Cat to save the day.â âBooklist
âBelievable characters . . . and a tear-jerking conclusion . . . Thereâs plenty here for young adventure enthusiasts, especially reluctant readers who prefer brief novels with simple, action-packed plots that can be read in one big satisfying gulp.â âKirkus Reviews
âThe pace of the novel is perfect for a young audience. The action doesnât quit. A keeper. Engrossing for any reader, any age.â âCorvallis Gazette-Times
âA touching story about a daughter who wants to honor her mountaineer father. Will appeal to aspiring young climbers who want a taste of the big peaks. Tom Birdseye has more than 30 years of mountaineering experience, and it shows in this page-turning work.â âClimbing magazine
As a kid, Tom Birdseye was decidedly uninterested in writingâor any academic aspect of school, for that matterânever imagining that he would eventually become a published author. And yet, nineteen titles laterânovels, picture books, and nonfictionâthat is exactly what has happened. His work has been recognized for its excellence by the International Reading Association, Childrenâs Book Council, National Council of Social Studies, Society of School Librarians International, Oregon Library Association, and Oregon Reading Association, among others. Combined, his books have either won or been finalists for state childrenâs choice awards forty-three times. Life, it seems, is full of whoâd-a-thought-its. He lives and writes in Corvallis, Oregon, but launches mountaineering expeditions to his beloved Cascades on a regular basis.
