Why read it?
1 author picked Halfway to the Sky as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love it when the main character is determined, and Dani is exactly that—she’s going to hike the Appalachian trail alone from Georgia to Maine.
I loved following Dani’s journey as she worked through grief, hard questions, and the divorce of her parents. She’s gutsy yet sensitive, afraid yet strong. The descriptions and emotions were great, and, in a way, I felt like I got to ‘hike’ the trail along with her!
From Tori's list on clean books for teens that aren’t boring.
