Lily's Mountain

Lily refuses to believe what everyone else accepts to be true: that her father has died while climbing Denali, the highest mountain in North America. Lily has 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. 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. Hannah Moderow is a graduate of Cornell University and has an MFA in writing for children and young adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts. She has lived in Alaska all her life within sight of Mt. Denali on a clear day! Currently she is the communications manager for Make-A-Wish Alaska and Washington. She lives in Anchorage, Alaska, with her family. This is her first book.
