More Than A Walk: The Journal of a 16-Year-Old Hiker on the Appalachian Trail

Beautiful vistas and miles of untouched woods grace the East Coast landscape. In a lot of ways, though, those spectacular sights are of the least memorable parts of the trail. The hosts of kind, unforgettable, and humorous people are
really what stands out.

Timothy, a 16-year-old boy, sets off on the adventure of his life when his 21-year-old sister needs a companion with which to hike the Trail. From his first entry in anticipation of the hike to his last entry almost mourning its end, Timothy's natural writing style draws the reader in. His honest perspective of his situation and of the people he meets along the way is refreshing.

Timothy's daily journal entries from his 2100+ mile journey give the reader a glimpse into the mind of a 16-year-old boy on his hike into manhood.
