The kids from Lost at Sea are back, climbing in the majestic and dangerous peaks of Nepal. Orrie is so mad at her dad and his girlfriend, Libby, that she can’t see straight. Orrie’s brother Jack is trying to prove he’s a real man, so the girls back at school won’t laugh at him. Their little brother, Andy, is talking to a dead yak, who is listening very carefully. The entire family is freezing to death at 20,000 feet. This nail-biting adventure novel about a family full of love and anger, told in the unique alternating voices of the witty and earnest Jack and Orrie, will keep readers riveted from the first page to the last.

About the Author:
Jonathan Neale was born in New York City. He is the author of books of nonfiction and fiction for adults and young people.

Review:
Vivid descriptions and a reference to Krakauer's "Into Thin Air" may well lead armchair adventurers to les far-fetched reading.
Kirkus Reviews

The description of the trek, necessarily condensed, is accurate in many details and certainly in tone, conveying something of the beauty, challenge, and love of life that drives many climbers.
School Library Journal

Readers will enjoy the book for the adventure of climbing in the Himalaya and for reading about children...capable of astounding feats.
