In this companion to Lost at Sea, Jack and Orrie travel to Nepal to go mountain climbing with Dad and his girlfriend. The concluding rescue scenes are drawn out and unrealistic, but the story, narrated by both siblings, hits just the right tone when conveying Orrie's conflicted emotions about a new maternal figure and Jack's unflappable determination to prove himself to his father.
