Book Review

     Today, I am reviewing a book entitled "The Honest Truth" written by Dan Gemeinhart.  This book is a young adult book, but I enjoyed it.  I actually don't think that it would be appropriate for younger readers due to the theme of the book.
     In this book, the main character is a boy named Mark.  Mark has beaten cancer once in his life, but now he discovers that cancer has once again invaded his body.  He doesn't want to deal with it all again.  Mark sets out to fulfill his dream of climbing Mount Rainier, and he figures that he will mostly likely die in the attempt.
     Mark takes along his faithful dog Beau on his journey.  Beau is a great dog character.  He comes to Mark's rescue on more than one occasion.  One of the main themes of the book is the love that Beau and Mark have for one another.
     As Mark has run away from home, his parents are desperately searching for him.  Mark's friend Jessie knows where he has gone, but she struggles with whether or not she should tell the authorities what she knows.
     This is a very good book.  I really enjoyed reading about Mark and Beau's relationship.  Beau plays a critical role in the end of the book.  I recommend that you read "The Honest Truth" to find out what happens to Mark, Beau and Jessie.
