We're done Book Two of the reread, and it has me screaming, "How did these kids survive this?? How does anyone survive this!!" Mount Everest is brutal, and Gordon Korman captures all of it startlingly well. We start in Kathmandu and over the course of the book, the characters make it up to Camp Four, acclimatizing to the high altitudes and the conditions on Everest: falling ice, blowing wind and snow, baking heat. I've been looking up photos and skimming Jon Krakauer's account of the 1996 Everes...

I can feel the cold and the effects of the limited oxygen as if I were in the dead zone instead of Iowa. It is a wonderful series.

Have you ever immediately read the second book in a series after finishing the first? That’s what I did with Book #2 of Gordon Korman’s adventure series Everest, called, “The Climb.” Our group of 4 climbers has arrived in Nepal for their expedition each with their eye on the summit, but what they could never know is that, for one of them, the notorious Mt. Everest will be both their greatest challenge and their final resting place. What an excellent continuation of the series! It was another qui...

The second book in Gordon Korman's Everest trilogy follows thirteen-year-old Dominic Alexis and the SummitQuest Team to Everest's Base Camp. Climbers rest and train at the camp for a few weeks before tackling Everest in order to get acclimated to the altitude.I appreciated that Korman decided to dedicate an entire volume of his book to Base Camp because this is how it would happen in real life (well, except for the whole thirteen-year-old trying to climb Everest thing. The youngest person ever t...

**Series book 2**The second book in the series begins the journey of the winners of the training camp to the great Mt. Everest. The rough journey to the top begins and Dominic is on his way to being the youngest person to climb to the top. The journey is a rough one, will there be deaths, who will make it to the top? "For one of the four climbers team members, it would be a final resting place."Korman kills it with this series and book two adds to the excitement. I cannot wait to put this on my

Instant 5 stars. The way this book was written, very well. Good Character description but probably could've done a better job at describing their faces but they're on the back cover. The second of the trilogy. There were really no dry, stale parts of this book. All of it was packed at least with some action. I recommend reading this if you like yourself a medium to average sized book that nevers stales up or gets boring.

Dominic faces many challenges even once he's selected for Summit Quest's team. It all begins with a case of HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema). What chance does he have to make it up the mountain?

I liked it because it showed how you can accomplish things if you work as a team and Tilt helped out because he stood at the end of the mountain with his crampons .

Book twoDominic, Tilt, Sammi, and Perry are all preparing to climb Mt. Everest. They are attempting to be the youngest team to ever reach the summit. There are a lot of problems they must face to get to the top. This includes thin air. When another group of climbers called “This Way Up” get into some trouble on their climb, Dominic persuades his team members to go and help them. The kids leave to go find them, and when they do, they have to try to get an unconscious person down the steep mountai...

For The climb (Everest, #2) by Gordon Korman. I rated the book a 4. I rated it a 4 mostly because it was realist mostly, except the part where he is thirteen climbing Mt. Everest. This thrilling short story is about four teens taking on the challenge of being the youngest to climb Mt. Everest. I liked this book for many reasons. I like how Korman shows that climbing Mt. Everest doesn't take just hard work but lots of luck if you are a kid. There is so much suspense but the thing I didn't like t

The Climb is a non-picture chapter book about climbing Mount Everest. This book mainly focuses on the base camp of at Mount Everest and character development. There are 4 people in this book Cap, Dominic, Sammi, and Tilt. Each person has a back story, and Korman goes into his thoughts why their backgrounds affected the time and climb they were there.I like this book because it gives a good perspective of what climbing, and especially what the base camp is like for climbing Mount Everest. This bo...

I am a school teacher and this was part of my curriculum for guided reading. I'm not sure why it was included by itself without Part I or Part III. Although it can (kind of) stand alone, it was very confusing coming into the middle of the story without any back knowledge of climbing, and also frustrating not knowing the ending that is foreshadowed at the beginning of this novel. If you're going to read it, read the whole set. It would likely be much better.

This is written for tweens to young adults. The story is exciting and could be considered a page-turner if you fall in the correct age range. Even as an adult I enjoyed the book, but I think my enjoyment came more from the fact that I was reading it to a group of grade five students. Most of them were hooked and the joy of reading to a hooked crowd makes the story that much better.

This book was awesome! I thought this book was better than the first because there is more action. I read this book faster than the first one. I recommend this book to anyone who rated the first book 4 or 5 stars. You have to have patients because they don't start climbing the mountain until the first half of the book is over.

In this second book in the series, four teens begin their ascent of Mt. Everest. While their dreams of conquering the mountain are coming true, the climb is also extremely dangerous and surviving may require cooperation that gets in the way of the competition. I see that the third book has an even higher rating, so I cannot wait to get started on The Summit!

My nine year old grandson suggested this book after I told him one of my neighbors went to hike Kilimanjaro. With the pictures on the book of child climbers, I thought it may have been a true story but it was definitely fiction and definitely made for an older elementary reader. That said I will be reading more books he suggests to encourage our conversations of books.

Rating : 5 stars Absolutely loved it , the action at the last half of the book got me so exited . I flew through it. I absolutely loved Dominic , his character is unbelievable!! I just can't even , the fact that tilt isn't dead yet is annoying but that's besides the point . I loved it so much more than I thought I would . Yes yes yes !

I would've given this a higer rating if it were specifally rated for kids. I read it, reviewing before adding to an elementary school library. I loved it for that! Good morals, great adventure, and some educational facts mixed in.

I like the book because I didn't know all the words. The reading age would probably be 6th grade and up. The kids are climbing Mount Everest and they have to go to sleep at 5pm and wake up at 5am. Other books from the same author are Slacker, Dive, Island, and The Titanic. Will anyone get injured? Read the book to find out!!!

I don’t think these books are amazingly written, but it’s hard to find a series that fits the maturity of a 9 year old while also being written at a higher reading level. My son loves these Everest books and I’ve found them entertaining enough to read together.

I liked this one so much better than the first. The story was so much stronger and I literally was holding my breath during a certain scene which says a lot as this is an elementary school age book. Dont think I'll read the last book but I did enjoy this little adventure series.

Like this book a lot. Very excited for the last book in this series The Summit .

The issue that were some incorrect facts was hardly an issue for another excellent addition to the Everest series. I learned a ton, was captivated and enjoyed the writing thoroughly. Great book!!

Intensely real, almost felt like I was freezing cold and needed oxygen climbing Everest.

Highly unlikely but just going with it...

not as good as the 3rd one but of course the 3rd one was the climax of the series,but other then that it was a pretty good book it help with the 3rd one witch i red before the 1st and 2nd one.

My favorite part was when they were able to rescue Nestor from the mountain. My least favorite part was when Tilt continued to release information that he wasn't supposed to and blamed it on Ethan.

Reread from middle school. Definitely recommend this series to younger readers.

Excellent action and suspense. What will happen next? On to the last book to see how it all ends!!
