This series novel tells the story of a diverse group of kids trying to be the youngest to climb Mount Everest. Their first stop is mountaineering training camp where they compete for the chance to scale the world's highest peak. The group is eventually narrowed to four climbers and this book is the set up for kids' extreme and challenging climb that is featured in the remaining books in this series. Along the way, there are numerous twists, turns and surprises. As a reader, I thought this book was very exciting and I definitely plan to read the remaining two stories in the series. I really like how the author developed in-depth character storylines and relationships between the young climbers. As a teacher, this adventure series would be great for older students to learn more about Mount Everest and the extreme conditions there. Students could also read nonfiction selections about real life Mount Everest climbers and explorers from around the world.
