I adored this Great Stone Face 2018-19 nominee. It was a beautifully touching story about a young boy who sets out alone to hike the Appalachian trail from Vermont to Maine. He is doing it as a promise to his best friend, who was supposed to hike with him but can not. Toby's journey of self-discovery on the trail is mixed with flashbacks of the tragic story of what happened to Lucas. Can he do this without Lucas? Along the difficult journey, he meets people who show him that others are broken in their own ways, like him. He grows on the trail and learns to be confident and brave, to be a good friend, and to be responsible. (FIC HAS)
