A pilgrimage with a saint’s example in view

The Higher We Go brings the biography of Pier Giorgio Frassati into a fictional story about teenagers. When Daniel and his friends are offered the chance to join a Frassati pilgrimage, they invite Miri, who uses a wheelchair, to come with them. The book connects Frassati’s mountain-climbing life and “to the heights” motto with the group’s effort to include Miri in the journey. It is the fifth installment in the Friends in High Places series, though the publisher says it can be read independently. The series combines saints’ biographies with imagined teenage lives and includes some mature themes.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers interested in saints’ lives presented through fictional teenage characters
  • Readers curious about Pier Giorgio Frassati and pilgrimage
  • Those comfortable with a story the publisher notes contains some mature themes

Book overview

"VERSO L'ALTO." TO THE HEIGHTS.

This was Pier Giorgio Frassati's motto. But what could an athletic, mountain-climbing saint have to say to wheelchair-bound Miri?

When Miri's friend Daniel and his friends get a chance to go on a Pier Giorgio Frassati pilgrimage, they decide to invite Miri along, and show him just how high he can go.

 

The fifth book in the Friends in High Places series, The Higher We Go can be read on its own. The series is Parental Guidance since it contains some mature themes.
Friends in High Places is a short fiction series that presents saints' biographies in the context of imaginary teenagers' lives. The stories are written primarily to entertain, with inspiration and education thrown in for free!
