The Geography of You and Me, by Jennifer Smith (2014)

No Summit Out of Sight, by Jordan Romero with Linda LeBlanc (2014)

I heard only my labored breathing and the crunch of my crampons biting into snow as I traversed a nearly vertical slop on the north face of Mount Everest.

When he was only 9-years old, Jordan Romero was inspired to hike the Seven Summits - the tallest summit on each continent, plus one.  With the help and support of his family, Jordan went in search of his dreams.

Just One Year, by Gayle Forman (2013)

It's the dream I always have:  I'm on a plane, high above the clouds.  The plan starts to descend, and I have this sudden panic because I just know that I'm on the wrong plane, am traveling to the wrong place.

This companion to Just One Day is narrated from Willem's point of view.  After he was attacked on the streets of Paris, all he can think about is Lulu and their day together.  He doesn't even know her real name, so how can he find her?  How can he find himself?
