When Henry's brother is hit by a truck his world is turned upside down. His family pretty much all goes into seclusion individually. Although his brother is still alive, it's not very hopeful. Eventually Henry himself decides to remove himself. However, the way he does so also seems to draw him nearer to his brother. He decides to go to Maine and climb a mountain he and his brother had planned on climbing. He brings his newly adopted dog, Black Dog, and his friend. They have no other way to get there but to ride with the very person who hit his brother in the first place. The story is amazing. Everything ties together in beautiful connections I never could have thought of. Gary D. Schmidt is a great author and this is a great book.
