DANA’S FIRST BOOK FOR YOUNG ADULTS!

The Sun Is Also A Star meets Into Thin Air in this tale of friendship, love, and loyalty on the mountain.

High school seniors and best friends Rose and Tate have trained their whole lives to summit Mount Everest. In the spring of senior year they set out for Nepal, but as they travel ever farther from home, their relationship changes along with the landscape around them. The higher they go, the higher the stakes: altitude, weather, expedition politics, and their own feelings all threaten their long-held goal of reaching the summit.

Rose and Tate have to figure out what they owe each other, themselves, and the mountain they pledged to climb. Because at 29,000 feet, in the Death Zone, they must decide who — or what — they value above all else.

“A vividly crafted, compelling look at what is gained and lost in the pursuit of our dreams.” -Joy McCullough, National Book Award Nominee for Blood, Water, Paint

“An engrossing, suspenseful, and thought-provoking adventure.” -Kirkus Reviews

“Rose and Tate’s breathtaking journey is an examination of ambition, loyalty, and what happens when they collide. A heartfelt and captivating debut.” –Kate A. Boorman, award-winning author of Winterkill and What We Buried

“A nail-biting adventure set in Nepal…the book’s main focus is not on the climb itself, but the teens’ changing emotions, vulnerabilities, and profound realizations as they face the dangers ahead during training. Levy skillfully … draws on all five senses to bring Nepal’s splendor to life.” -Publisher’s Weekly
