The White Mountains

SDG — 10/3/2014 7:57:03 PM (archived)

I decided to jump in with John Christopher's The White Mountains. Partly for the nostalgia of reading the series again, but after thinking it over that book really is pitch perfect for boys. Its not too technical, but has plenty of adventure and action and is a great coming of age story.
