Children's Literature
Thirteen year old Cat finds herself in a predicament like no other she's ever experienced when her impulsive cousin Ty decides to spread the ashes of their late fathers, twin mountaineering brothers, from the summit of the same dangerous mountain that claimed both their lives. Cat initially refuses to join Ty on this expedition but when she realizes he's left and taken her father's ashes to spread them himself, Cat, in anger, begins to climb, initially simply to retrieve the stolen ashes and return home. Running into problems from the start, she decides to abandon her effort to catch up with Ty but her dog, Mugs, goes missing and she climbs on, desperately trying to find him. She finally meets up with both Ty and Mugs just as the weather closes in and she must apply all her mountaineering knowledge to save them. Birdseye has created an exciting story that is a great balance between action-packed plot and well-developed characters with high emotional stakes. Birdseye's knowledge of mountain climbing is obvious here, but he does a good job of parceling out technical information in a way that is not boring as he involves readers in the action and tension between the two main characters at the same time. Readers will not want to put the book down as Cat and Ty deal with an avalanche and a blizzard white-out. The ending, while a bit of a tear-jerker, is nonetheless satisfying. This is a page-turning adventure story with a lot of heart. Reviewer: Margaret Orto
School Library Journal
Gr 4–6—Left on her own for a weekend, Cat, a precocious 13-year-old, finds herself drawn into a life-threatening adventure by her hyperactive cousin, Ty. Their eminent mountain-climbing fathers died during an expedition; now, Ty insists on scattering their ashes on the same mountain. Despite her protests, Ty begins his journey and Cat reluctantly takes the same harrowing steps to save not only him, but her beloved dog. These intrepid climbers face an avalanche, broken limbs, and snowstorms. Every incident comes to a neat conclusion, thus limiting tension that could prolong suspense. Vocabulary is mundane, dialogue is colloquial and fast-paced, and the story moves rapidly from scene to scene. The characters are never fully developed so they sound whiny and act foolishly rather than scared and emotionally conflicted. Mountain-climbing references abound, including how-to descriptions, serious climbing magazines, and survival details, making the book interesting on a technical level.—Tina Hudak, St. Albans School, Washington, DC
Kirkus Reviews

When Cat's cousin Ty steals her father's ashes and heads up Storm Mountain, Cat takes off after him, setting up a fast-paced adventure in Oregon's Cascade Mountains. Their fathers were twin brothers—both world-famous mountain climbers—who died on that mountain two years ago, and Ty wants to scatter their ashes as a remembrance. However, a lot stands in his way: the angry Cat, an avalanche, a fall into a crevasse and dog farts in a snow cave. The dialogue is occasionally regrettably expository—"That storm raged for nearly a week," Cat informs her cousin. "Helicopters were grounded, rescuers pushed back. Even though our dads dug a snow cave on a ledge, by the time the weather finally cleared...it was too late"—but Birdseye's prose, full of careening action, melodrama and overwrought similes, reflects Ty's bulldozing personality. Add believable characters, the author's mountain-climbing expertise and a tear-jerking conclusion, and there's plenty here for young adventure enthusiasts, especially reluctant readers who prefer brief novels with simple, action-packed plots that can be read in one big satisfying gulp. (Adventure. 8-12)
