I've been camping. I've spent months camping. I've visited Yosemite. And I hiked-up a mountain using auto-pilot. What I haven't done is gone camping with kids to a park that hosts an abundance of wildlife and a mountain that vaporizes people. (Are they hiking Half Dome? Don't think so, but the point stands.)
But that's the story here. Four kids going on a hiking trip because of a vow, and because common sense is so yesterday.
The writing seems solid and the air of mystery, even though nothing has happened, is thickening by the sentence. What the characters are hiding will no doubt come back to bite them in the butt.
The questions that remain:
How did they decide on this course? Why does Grahame need the ax? How could Ceo not like maple? Who will live to regret going? And when do they realize it's too late to turn back? I don't know, but someone made a Bad Call. Dun dun duunnn.
