Description Supposing Books The Honest Truth
In all the ways that matter, Mark is a normal kid. He's got a dog named Beau and a best friend, Jessie. He likes to take photos and write haiku poems in his notebook. He dreams of climbing a mountain one day.But in one important way, Mark is not like other kids at all. Mark is sick. The kind of sick that means hospitals. And treatments. The kind of sick some people never get better from.
So Mark runs away. He leaves home with his camera, his notebook, his dog, and a plan to reach the top of Mount Rainier--even if it's the last thing he ever does.
The Honest Truth is a rare and extraordinary novel about big questions, small moments, and the incredible journey of the human spirit.

it was really sad but it was beautiful. i really loved this book, it had a lot a meaning to it and i can relate somehow to this book. it was also one of my favorite books this year which i think is hard for me to find books i like, so this one is great.The Honest Truth is not a book I can recommend. The writing is good and the characters well-developed, but I object to the story and tone of the novel. Mark is a normal kid who has been battling cancer for years. When the cancer returns, he runs away with his faithful dog Beau. His goal is to reach the top of Mount Rainier. However, he lies to his parents and forces his best friend to choose between their friendship and telling everyone where he has gone. As a parent, this was painful to read.
literally the best book I ever read (although a lot of people may disagree)
I can't even begin to imagine how a person with terminal illness must feel like but I know for sure that it's one of the worst (if not THE worst) feelings one can ever encounter in life.The Honest Truth tells the story of Mark, a young boy who is battling cancer and he is just tired of it all. Tired of being sick, tired of being pitied, tired of feeling like his time on Earth is running out. So, he decides to "claim" his life (which is the only thing he feels he has a claim of) and sets off on a
This is a story about a kid on an adventure. An adventure to die. This story is largely about dying, and the remarkable bravery of a young boy who is ready to die on his own terms, even if it means running away. But what I took away was the amazing power of friendship. Jessie's devotion to Mark...Beau's devotion to Mark...it was moving. A great book with small chapters for your reluctant readers. But a great book for everyone, as well.
My heart breaks every single time I read this book! This is truly a masterpiece <3
Talk about having courage, the main character Mark shows a ton of it when he makes a huge decision that could cost him his life! Mark is like any other kid in some ways, however, in others Mark is different he is sick. This book takes you on Mark's journey as he follows his dream. This book makes you think of other children that might be sick like he is.
