This
is a great start to a new series that is perfect for boys. First there is little to no romance…it is
really hard to find a young adult book that doesn’t have some form of romance. Second the story was very face paced and not
super long. I think that is important
for *some* boys….especially those reluctant readers. Great for ages 10 and up.

DJ is David
McLean's eldest grandson, so it stands to reason that he be the one to scatter
his beloved grandfather's ashes. At least that's how DJ sees it. He's always
been the best at everything--sports, school, looking after his fatherless
family--so climbing Kilimanjaro is just another thing he'll accomplish almost
effortlessly. Or so he thinks, until he arrives in Tanzania and everything
starts to go wrong. He's detained at immigration, he gets robbed, his climbing
group includes an old lady and he gets stuck with the first ever female porter.
Forced to go polepole (slowly), DJ finds out the hard way that youth, fitness
level and drive have nothing to do with success on the mountain--or in life.
