Lily's Mountain

A girl treks into the Alaskan wilderness to find her missing father in "a heartwarming novel that is filled with adventure" (School Library Journal).

Lily's dad left a few weeks ago with some coffee, some donuts, and a backpack filled with everything he needed to claim Denali, the highest mountain in North America. Now, Lily refuses to believe what everyone else accepts to be true: that her father has died in the attempt to reach the summit.

Lily's grown up hiking in the Alaskan wilderness with her dad. He's an expert climber. There's no way he would let something like this happen. So instead of grieving, Lily decides to rescue him with the help of her older sister Sophie. Her plan takes her to Denali—and on a journey that tests her physically and emotionally . . .

In this powerful debut, Hannah Moderow has written an authentic Alaskan adventure that crosses terrain both beautiful and haunting—and ultimately shows the bond of family and the wonder of wild places.

"The novel's descriptions of local wildlife, flora, and ever-present mosquitoes cast the vivid Alaskan wilderness as its own character in the story…An engrossing portrait of a girl's devotion to her father and how she makes the most of everything he taught her." —Publishers Weekly
