500 Miles is a sweet story about fourteen year old Mark, his older brother Eric, and Eric's best friend Jase. Jase always includes Mark to tag along with him and Eric. Meanwhile, Mark has loved and admired Jase, but keeps it to himself, unsure if his feelings are requited. When Eric and Jase join the Army, Mark is devistated, but Jase leaves behind a cassette tape-with a promise.To say this story touched my heart is an understatement! I won't spoil the plot for you, but you will feel Mark's longing for Jase (and his devistation), be shocked at a lie that was told (but for good reason), fear the worst for Eric and Jase, and have your heart melt at some wonderful moments. I was grinning ear to ear and wiping away tears when I got to the end. This story was a powerful journey, and I want more!! I look forward to reading more from this author :-)
