Will the three friends make it down the mountain, or will Chase and Jack catch up and get revenge?
Opinion:
I thought that this book was okay. It was a bit slow at times, and seemed to drag on. However, the characters were very lifelike, and I could connect to them. The author does a good job of depicting the town bully and his friend. Also, the main characters Tom, Troy, and Gabe were very unique as well. Overall this book was okay.
