"Henry Smith's father told him that if you build your house far
enough away from Trouble, then Trouble will never find you."
But Trouble comes careening down the road one night in the form of
a pickup truck that strikes Henry's older brother, Franklin. In the
truck is Chay Chouan, a young Cambodian from Franklin's preparatory
school, and the accident sparks racial tensions in the school--and
in the well-established town where Henry's family has lived for
generations. Caught between anger and grief, Henry sets out to do
the only thing he can think of: climb Mt. Katahdin, the highest
mountain in Maine, which he and Franklin were going to climb
together. Along with Black Dog, whom Henry has rescued from
drowning, and a friend, Henry leaves without his parents'
knowledge. The journey, both exhilarating and dangerous, turns into
an odyssey of discovery about himself, his older sister, Louisa,
his ancestry, and why one can never escape from Trouble.
