Summary: From The Bottom of The World to The Top
Comment: Everest, The Contest is a great book for both boys and girls to read. I think to bring sand from the lowest point in the world to the top is really cool. Dominic's brother is not going to Everest. Even though he wanted to, he was not picked. Chris, Dominic's brother wanted him to bring up the sand in his place. I like how Dominic just focuses on trying to save Bryn, from the icefall while Cap Cicero is yelling at him to get out of the icefall and get back down the mountain. I really like the fact that the author did not chose for Ethan Zaph to go with the expedition because he didn't even train with the team.
I also think that for Bryn's replacement they should have chose Chris. He was a better climber than Tilt and he had more experience. Tilt Crowley should not go because he is a bully and he gets mad when somebody beats him to the top of a hill or a rock. Tilt also is not a team player and Tilt annoys other members of the team like Cap Cicero. I would think if you had a person on the team who is not very honest and loyal with the team, then why should he be put on? Tilt just wants the record and will not help anybody else, when on the other hand Dominic helps his teammates like when they were climbing Lucifer's Claw, he helped Bryn. But, I am sure that Dominic would like to have the record of being the youngest to summit Everest, but not to get into fights about it.
This is one of my favorite books because of all of the extreme climbing and all of the risks that they take. It teaches you loyalty among friends and how to be a team player. You know you can really depend on someone if you can climb Everest with them.

Summary: A 11 year old reader
Comment: This is an awesome book. It is by Gordon Korman who also writes a great series called Island. This series has 3 book; The Contest, The Climb, and The Summit. I think this author is very good at describing the people's personalities and also there is a variety of personalities. This book is about 20 kids that are all trying to be the youngest kid to climb Everest. There are 5 wild cards that are picked by something to do with collecting wrappers and bottle caps and they have to spell EVEREST. Cap Cicero, a very well-known and great veteran climber has to pick 4 out of the 20. I won't tell you who the 4 are but I will tell you the main characters. They are: Dominic, Chris, Tilt, Cap, Sammi, Bryn, and Perry. Thiss is being sponsored by Summit Athletic Quest in Colorado. All of the kids have to go through a month of boot camp and Cap Cicero is making the cuts during it, him watching everything you do. They start to climb EVEREST and then......... READ IT ITS AWESOME
