During their vacation, the Darcy family drive up a lonely mountain road. Then a Blizzard comes in, making their car slide off the road and slam into a tree, injuring both parents. But Danielle and her brother Jake are unharmed. Their parents say that they have to find help, and fast. Then Jake has an idea. He says that there is a manned weather station on top of Mount Remington. But, since they don't have any mountain climbing equipment, it is going to be hard. Jake and Danielle then realize that their only hope is to reach the weather station. If they don't, no one can find them both or their parents. This is the ultimate test of survival.
I liked this book because it gave alot of adventure. Like I said in my other reviews, adventure stories are on of my favorite books. My other favorite one is suspense. And it also gave suspense, too. So that is why I rated this book 5 stars. "But the climb got harder, not easier. The cliff grew steeper. The rocks turned slicker. Handholds and footholds beame more difficult to find and less reliable once Danielle found them." I like these entences because they described the hardships Danielle and Jake faced. That's what I like about this book.
I disliked this book because I am not really into mountain climbing. I'm guessing that the author liked mountain climbing alot because of all the vocabulary he knows about it. In this book, there was alot of mountain climbing. It kind of made me frustrated, but in a way, it was exciting. That's what I don't like about this book. "For Danielle and Jake, there is no going back-- ONLY UP.
My favorite part in the book is always when it gives me flashbacks. That's why I picked this certain part. It was when Danielle and Jake started climbing and struggled with it along the way. It reminded me when I was in Las Vegas. There was a place called GameWaorks, where they had tons of games. My dad encouraged me to mountain climb a mini-mountain there, so I tried. In the start, I struggled alot, just like Danielle and Jake. But in the end I made it all the way to the top, just like Danielle and Jake. That's why that is my favorite part in the book.

Summary: Climb or Die
Review: This is a great survival story about two teens named Danielle and Jake who are traveling with their parents to their cabin high in the Colorado Rockies. On their way to the cabin, the car slides off the road and slams into a tree, badly injuring both parents. Amazingly Danielle and Jake are unharmed. The family is stranded far away from where anyone can rescue them, but Jake came up with the idea of climbing up Mount Remington to reach the manned weather station at the top. With no real climbing equipment, the two teens must find a way to reach the station atop the mountain. While they were climbing the two faced many problems but their will to survive kept the going. Finally, they reached the top and got help for their parents. This book was one of my favorite survivor stories.
