The Honest Truth
Whoa. A start and don't put down until done book. Dog as hero. Boy with the weight of the world. Honest truths are the hardest because we don't often tell them.
My heart breaks every single time I read this book! This is truly a masterpiece <3
I want a Beau.It has a beautiful message. I liked it very much.
The Honest Truth was one of those Scholastic Book Club books that managed to make its way from the box into kids' hands without me ever getting to read it. My students would read it, wipe away their tears, and tell me I HAD to read it! I brought it home this summer so I could finally do just that, but I ended up reading Some Kind of Courage first for our staff book club. I loved that one so much, I knew the time had come to read The Honest Truth. Now I know why my students loved it so much.
The quote on the jacket reads, "A heartbreaking, moving novel that makes you want to embrace the boy at its center and hold him close." I agree with the heartbreaking, moving part. But what did I want to do to Mark? How about throw him over the side of a mountain myself?! Seriously, you have two loving parents, a great best friend, and a faithful dog and you're going to run away - risking not just your own life, but your dog's life, too? Am I supposed to cheer for you? Not happening. If the kid

Description Conducive To Books The Honest Truth
In all the ways that matter, Mark is a normal kid. He's got a dog named Beau and a best friend, Jessie. He likes to take photos and write haiku poems in his notebook. He dreams of climbing a mountain one day. But in one important way, Mark is not like other kids at all. Mark is sick. The kind of sick that means hospitals. And treatments. The kind of sick some people never get better from. So Mark runs away. He leaves home with his camera, his notebook, his dog, and a plan to reach the top of Mount Rainier--even if it's the last thing he ever does. The Honest Truth is a rare and extraordinary novel about big questions, small moments, and the incredible journey of the human spirit.List Books During The Honest Truth
