We had a lot of rubble on the side of one hill, and one wrong step would have sent me straight down 60 m. Not good. I'm terrified of mountains now. Not going up them, but definitely climbing down.Stacy Nyikoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830844058919457619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770331077089775301.post-81841538836003169972009-03-04T17:18:00.000-08:002009-03-04T17:18:00.000-08:00Hey, I like that one!Green Girl I know just what y...Hey, I like that one!<BR/><BR/>Green Girl I know just what you mean.

I love how you connected your personal story to this book review. <BR/><BR/>This sounds like a fun premise for a novel - so full of plot twists. I should tell my 14 year old son who likes climbing tall peaks. <BR/><BR/>Interesting reflection on the age of the protagonist. I wonder if he was 18 originally and if the book was repackaged for YA. Interesting and thoughtful review!Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770331077089775301.post-56809918785160765092009-03-04T10:51:00.000-08:002009-03-04T10:51:00.000-08:00Wonderful.

I just received the critique on my YA MS from my agent that my girls were too old (freshman year of college)--can't they be 15 like the girls in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. My arguments are similar to yours--age and maturity and life experience make the plot plausible in this case--but the industry is totally "younging" their literature.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770331077089775301.post-63639531208008036462009-03-04T07:43:00.000-08:002009-03-04T07:43:00.000-08:00Sounds like a great book, Stacy!
