The Trail

Toby has to finish the final thing on The List.

It's a
list of brave, daring, totally awesome things that he and his best
friend, Lucas, planned to do together, and the only item left is
to hike the Appalachian Trail. But now Lucas isn't there to do
it with him.

Toby's determined to hike the trail alone and
fulfil their pact, which means dealing with the little things the
blisters, the heat, the hunger - and the big things - the bears,
the loneliness, and the memories.

When a storm comes, Toby
finds himself tangled up in someone else's mess: Two boys desperately
need his help. But does Toby have any help to give?

The
Trail is a remarkable story of physical survival and true
friendship, about a boy who's determined to forge his own path
- and to survive.
