Book Title: Courage Test
In this middle grade novel by James Preller, a father and son journey along the Lewis and Clark Trail--from Fort Mandan to the shining sea--offering readers a genre-bending blend of American history, thrilling action, and the personal discovery that comes with facing an illness. Will has no choice. His father, a professor of American history, drags him along on a wilderness adventure in the footsteps of the legendary explorers Lewis and Clark--whether he likes it or not. All the while, Will senses that something about this trip isn't quite right. His parents are divorced, and he hasn't spent much time with his father. Why now? And why is Will's mother practically pushing him out the door? Along the journey, Will meets fascinating strangers and experiences new thrills, including whitewater rapids and a heart-pounding encounter with a bear. This, along with getting to know his dad, tests Will in ways he hasn't faced before. But the biggest test of his courage isn't on the road; it's facing an illness that will be life-changing.
