Synopsis

An exciting and deeply moving story of survival, courage, and friendship on the Appalachian Trail.

Toby has to finish the final thing on The List.

It's a list of brave, daring, totally awesome things that he and his best friend, Lucas, planned to do together, and the only item left is to hike the Appalachian Trail. But now Lucas isn't there to do it with him.

Toby's determined to hike the trail alone and fulfill their pact, which means dealing with little things—the blisters, the heat, the hunger—and the big things—the bears, the loneliness, and the memories.

When a storm comes, Toby finds himself tangled up in someone else's mess: Two boys desperately need his help. But does Toby have any help to give?

The Trail is a remarkable story of physical survival and true friendship, about a boy who's determined to forge his own path—and to survive.

Another one I read per my son's request. His review when I asked him what he liked about it, "It has a lot of friendship and love. And it has sad parts but she heals the sadness. Also, it made me want to go hiking." Not sure I could write a better review than him. Agree wholeheartedly.......more

Picked up this book by a recommendation from my son. I expected it to be decent but wasn't really prepared to be swept away by the warmth and love, sadness and hope, the power of friendship, and the beauty and danger of hiking in the wilderness. Probably the best book I have read in a while.......more

This is a good book. I have read this book more than once and personly I think it is better after you have read it once. This book could have been way more descriptive. It would have been better if it was spread out more.......more

Goodreads review by Raina on September 22, 2020

I LOVED this, friends. It kept me up past my bedtime. Kid hiking by himself. (view spoiler)[Maybe this is kind of a spoiler, but this is also definitely a DOG book. Major plot points hinge on a dog. Which is probably part of why I liked it. There is some icky stuff with the dog, so fair warning, but I have a high s (hide spoiler)]......more
