A review by krwriter8
Running on the Roof of the World by Jess Butterworth

5.0

This MG debut is a fast paced adventure set in Tibet during their occupation by China. Tash and her friend Sam are trying to escape through the Himalayas to cross the border into India, armed with some cryptic clues and their loyal yaks.

Parts of this novel were harrowing and others sad. After I finished reading, I wanted to learn more about the historical aspects.

I received an ARC at ALA midwinter.
