An off-trail adventure leads Paul the child and Bruce the adult farther than they ever thought they would go.

Paul, age 10, sets out on an expedition to the mountains with his parents’ friend, Bruce. Having reappeared after three years of silence, Bruce is eager to keep the promise he made to Paul to take him on a three-day mountain trek. The journey gives Paul with the chance to set out in search of himself and learn to find his own way. A breathtaking picture book of a mountain adventure, beautifully told by Maylis de Kerangal and wondrously illustrated by Tom Haugomat’s silkscreens.
