One mountain.They come from all across America to be the youngest kid ever to climb Everest. But only one will reach the top first. The competition is fierce. The preparation is intense. The challenge is breathtaking. When the final four reach the higher peaks, disaster strikes -- and all that separates the living from the dead is chance, bravery, and action. Review: Awesome book - Awesome book. My son loved it so much, I read it after him and loved it too! Cant wait to read number two! Review: Everest - Everest Book One: The Contest was extremely exciting, although slightly unrealistic. Everest is about a group of young kids who want to be the youngest to climb Mount Everest. One boy has already climbed Everest, sixteen year old Ethan Zaph, and the corporation sponsoring the climb, Summit, would like one boy and one girl under sixteen to climb Everest along with famous alpinist and expedition leader Ciercio. At first it seems that Dominic, the most interesting character, will not make the cut, but as time goes by the leader starts to see himself in Dominic and keeps him around. I enjoyed the book because it is very suspenseful. While trying to "solve a problem" (a tough boulder to climb) Dominic runs and jumps twenty five feet into the air off the base of the boulder reaching out for a finger hold a few inches wide and swinging to the top. I actually learned a lot about climbing although this is a fictional book. It gives you a good perspective of the dangers and strains involved with climbing. I did like that it was fast moving, but the author Gordon Korman was scant on the details. I think outdoorsmen especially climbers of all ages would enjoy this book. This is a good book, and I would definitely recommend it. ## Images ![Everest I: The Contest - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715QC3b9UIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome book *by M***N on January 30, 2010* Awesome book.

As the competitors are being narrowed down for the four spots the intense level rises. Dominic is a 14 year old kid, who is not only the youngest at the camp but who is also the smallest, and everybody at camp believes the team leader is keeping him just for people to watch the show. Once the team is picked the four people were not expected to make the team but they did. As everybody believes the Dominic should not have been picked for the team, the team leader was glad at the end because Dominic saves a life even the team leader couldn't have saved. Although the book has Everest on it I was disappointed that they did not climb Everest, but i am anxious to read the next book.
