John Beede has written a book that will grab teenage readers and their parents. Through the medium of rock climbing, high schoolers learn to confront issues with parents, teachers, and each other. Very readable and keeps your attention to the end. You watch the teens grow strong and confident as they conquer the rocks and at the same time conquer their fears.
