My kids were fascinated by this story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The author tells his story of being the first Canadian to climb Mt. Everest. He talks a lot about his determination and will to do more than his best, and ends the book with a very positive message. My 6-yr-old son is really into Mt. Everest, so we bought this for a birthday present. Both he and his 8-yr-old sister (who is sick of hearing her brother talk endlessly about Mt. Everest) were totally engrossed in Laurie's story. The climb did result in four deaths, so be forewarned when reading this with younger children.
