Summary: Two brothers’ journey to help a generation reclaim the teen years and do hard things.

Notes: Warning: this book is powerful! For real. The first time I read this book, I ended up doing a coat drive to send coats to Ukraine. The second time, I completed a large service project for my Abigail Adams Award for American Heritage Girls. The third time, I did my Stars and Stripes Award (also part of AHG). Each time I have read it, I end up doing some kind of large service project that I would not have dreamed of doing six months before. Life changing? Yes. Inspiring? Yes. Read it at your own risk: You just might end up doing something incredible.
