Summary: The first book in a thrilling new trilogy by Gordon Korman.
Review: Dominic Alexis's older brother Chris is one of the best young mountain climbers out there. He's sure to get to compete for a spot in the youngest expedition to ever climb Everest. But Dominic is just thirteen, and while he's a decent climber, he'd never get picked. At a "boot camp," a group of kids, mostly expert climbers, but a few that won a contest sponsored by an energy drink company, will test their endurance to prove themselves worthy of climbing Everest. Dominic determines to win the contest -- and he does, meaning he can go with Chris. He never even dares hope he could get to climb Everest, but he at least wants a chance to learn, compete, and have fun. At camp in the Colorado mountains, the teenagers are given tests of endurance and skill to determine which four of them will be selected for the expedition. But will the winners be prepared for what is ahead? I highly recommend this new series to readers who enjoyed Gordon Korman's previous adventure trilogy, Island.

Summary: The Climb Summary
Review: Everest, Gordon's second adventure trilogy, continues in The Climb. Four of the youngest climbers ever attempting to scale the world's tallest mountain (chosen from among 20 of the best teen climbers in the world), have flown halfway around the world, prepared for their challenge. All are determined to succeed, but Everest is no walk in the park. Death is common for climbers attempting to scale to its incredible summit, and the challenge these young athletes face is one of the toughest on Earth. But the members of this team will have to face even more than the mountain, as Tilt is still sending nasty gossip to the tabloid the National Daily, the other climbers and even the Nepalese government are concerned that team member Dominic Alexis is too small and young for the journey, and Dominic, himself, is afflicted with HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema), a dangerous lung condition which, while seldom fatal, is likely to end his chances to finish the climb ... at least on this trip. All in all, it is a very difficult challenge that faces the Summit Quest team, and we're only up to book two! Keep your eyes out for The Summit, book three, for the conclusion of the story!

Review: I started reading this book with my ten year old son. I found it quite interesting...so interesting that I read the whole book after my son went to bed. I can't wait to get started on the next. My son struggled because of the vocabulary used. But that's good. It challenges him and he learns while he reads an intriguing story. My son can't wait to find out what happens next. I won't tell him of course.

Review: This is an awesome book. It is by Gordon Korman who also writes a great series called Island. This series has 3 book; The Contest, The Climb, and The Summit. I think this author is very good at describing the people's personalities and also there is a variety of personalities. This book is about 20 kids that are all trying to be the youngest kid to climb Everest. There are 5 wild cards that are picked by something to do with collecting wrappers and bottle caps and they have to spell EVEREST. Cap Cicero, a very well-known and great veteran climber has to pick 4 out of the 20. I won't tell you who the 4 are but I will tell you the main characters. They are: Dominic, Chris, Tilt, Cap, Sammi, Bryn, and Perry. Thiss is being sponsored by Summit Athletic Quest in Colorado. All of the kids have to go through a month of boot camp and Cap Cicero is making the cuts during it, him watching everything you do. They start to climb EVEREST and then......... READ IT ITS AWESOME
