Judgment Regarding Books The Contest (Everest #1)

2.5 stars.

I read this series, as well as some of Korman's others, when I was in elementary school. I remember really loving how these books were written. This book is fats-paced, and I remember loving that a character named Sammi was going to the top of Everest. It didn't work out for this class book project, but maybe another time!

I really liked this book because it is about a group of kids who are competing for a spot to climb Mount, Everest. Before that, the kids must train at a training camp at High Falls Colorado. They train here to learn the skills necessary to climb up Mount, Everest. These skills include mental and physical challenges such as 5-hour hikes, boot camp, and therapy sessions. The top 4 kids at this camp are selected to climb Mount Everest.The main characters in this book are Cap, Domonick, and Sammy.

Everest- Book One - The Contest was an intriguing quick read, with interesting characters and storyline twists. I look forward to finishing the trilogy to see how things work out with the climbing team. I have never read any books about mountain climbing and it helped me better understand issues climbers face.

If Dominic would not have been on the climb, then Bryn probably would have died. I enjoyed also how Dominic was not even supposed to make it further than first round but, last minute the guide of the

Personal Response: I thought this book was a fun read. It kept me wanting to read the next chapter to see who was going to be cut from the expedition next. It has a great story line that made me feel like I was in the running for a spot on the Everest expedition. There were many shocking moments that I couldnt predict. They kept me hooked and put a twist in what the outcome of the expedition would be. If I learned a life lesson from this book it would be to never expect something, always be

As I finished the first book of the series I was left on a cliffhanger: the action-packed scenes of the dangerous death defying experiences of the teenage mountaineering prodigies made this book a real page turner. The book makes you very sympathetic towards the characters and their adversities. I would recommend this book to young readers ages 10-12, who are interested in adventures and building strong character. Outside of the climbing terms, there isn't too much new vocabulary, and the
