This is a story about the ache and promise of our world, and it begs us to pay attention to both. A terrific and important read.―Gary D. Schmidt, Newbery Honoree, Printz Honoree, and National Book Award Finalist for Okay for Now

Give this novel to every young reader worried about the future of our fragile planet.―Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author of The One and Only Ivan

My Side of the Mountain meets Greta Thunberg in this heartfelt, exciting novel about one girl's growing awareness of herself, the world, and the relationship between the two. The world is not okay. Now what?

Ginny Shepard is glad to be in Montana for a month of backcountry camping before she starts high school. The world is on fire. That's the awful truth. And Ginny would much rather be hiking in the mountains than doing the summer college prep classes her parents think will help her future. Because, the future? Who even knows what that is anymore.

But once Ginny gets to camp, things get complicated fast. She meets her tripmates: five challenging, rebellious, tech-addicted boys. And she finds out TrackFinders is designed for kids who need extra support. Instead of feeling free as a bird, Ginny feels trapped . . . and betrayed.

As her friendships with her fellow campers deepen on the trail, though, Ginny starts to see new sides of them--and of herself. Maybe out here in the backcountry, she'll actually find what she needs to face the front country again.
