Everest Book Two: The Climb

Everest Book Two: The Climb is an awesome book. Everest is mostly about four kids, Dominic, Tilt, Sammi, and Perry who try to climb the biggest mountain in the world. They travel to Nepal and begin their training. The altitude is high and Dominic can't take it. Dominic gets HAPE, which means it is hard to breathe. When they get to camp, Tilt spreads news about Dominic to reporters. Cap Cicero, the leader, doesn't know that Tilt was spreading the news. During Dominic's recovery , the team starts up the mountain.
When Dominic recovered , he was helping the sherpa's. The sherpas carry and lift bags for the climbers. Dominic was the youngest , but he was by far the strongest. When Dominic started up the mountain, he could feel the altitude changing. The weather is very harsh, it can get to minus sixty-six degrees. The suns rays are so strong, they had to wear sunscreen. When they reached camp four, Cap Cicero was listening to the radio to see if any teams had made it to the top. He heard a weird noise, it was Ethan Zaph's sherpa, Lansang. Ethan Zaph is the youngest person to ever reach the summit. Lansang said that Nestor, the journalist, was unconscious, but Ethan wanted to continue his climb. Ethan's team was trying to climb Everest without oxygen masks.
Many climbers make poor decisions when they don't have enough oxygen in their brains.
That meant, Dominic, Sammi, Tilt and Perry would have to save Ethan and Nestor.Once they found them, Ethan was in the death zone with no oxygen. They strapped oxygen masks on and headed down. Perry noticed Nestor didn't have any crampons on his feet. Crampons are razor sharp shoes that climbers wear to have more traction. They realized that they were stuck in his back. When they pulled the crampons out, he screamed.
When they arrived at camp four, Cap Cicero and Dr. Oberman were waiting in the tent. Dr. Oberman took Nestor down to camp two and eventually back to the city to recover.
At the end, Nestor is okay. Tilt confesses that he was spreading the news and everybody is okay.
If you like suspense, action, drama and adventure, then you will like the Everest series. After I read the first book, I was looking forward to reading Book Two:The Climb. I really liked Everest Book Two:The Climb. It is action packed, drama filled and one of the most intense books I have ever read.

The Wanderer

My book was called The Wanderer. This book is just right for you if you like adventure and a whole lot of suspense!This book is about a young girl named Sophie who goes on a very exciting adventure with her cousins Cody and Brian. She also goes on this journey with her uncles. At first Sophies mother didn't want her to go on the adventure. As soon as her uncles and cousins came to get her and the boats ready her mom had no choice but to let her go with them! On this adventure their destination is Ireland. They are gonig to Ireland from Connecticut. They are going to Ireland to see their grandfather Bompie. They are going to see Bompie for two reasons, the first reason is that he is very sick and he has a nurse living at his house with him. The second reason is, they haven't seen him in a long time and they wanted to catch up with him and see how he is doing. Although there are some bumps along the road while they are traveling to get there. They are traveling just fine until there are storm clouds up ahead. They would turn around but, then the storm would be pushing them with it and they would never stop going. They decide to go straight through the storm and luckily they made it out safely. After the storm they took a rest and docked at a small town nearby. The people there are very nice. All of a sudden no one can find Sophie and Cody? Where could they be? They found a small boat and traveled to an island that their grandfather Bompie met his first wife at. Cody did not know that the island is where their grandfather had met his first wife Rose. They stayed there for only a day and when they came back they headed off to continue their journey. They were about three fourths away from their destination.Two days after they started their journey they were there in Ireland they were so excited to be there. That night they had to stay in an inn until their grandfather was well enough for them to be able to see him. The next day they headed to Bompie's house and when they approached him the nurse said to be very calm and quiet because he is very confused and doesn't know who they are, who he is , why they are there, and who they are. But, when they started to tell him one thing about each of them and a couple of things about his own life then he started to understand them. They were very happy to see him as his old self again! Sadly the nurse said that they had to leave and he needed some rest because it ws very overwhelming for him to see all five people at once. Even though there were ups and downs in this book it was definetly a good book!

I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who likes suspense, drama , and especially adventure! You can find it here in our local Woodbrook library! The author of this book is Sharon Creech. If you like this book you would also look for, Walk Two Moons, and Chasing Redbird! I hope you will enjoy this book as much as i did!

One day, Catherine's mom asked her to go next door to invite their family to a cookout that tonight.Catherine is not so confident about the idea because she does not want David to do something stupid in front of their new neighbors.Luckily for Catherine, they could not come. You have to read the book to find out how the story ends.

I recomend this book because it is fun, interesting, and it teaches us about autism. It also teaches us that just because someone has a disability, that does not mean that they are not still a human just like me and you.
