Review:
Vivid descriptions and a reference to Krakauer's "Into Thin Air" may well lead armchair adventurers to les far-fetched reading.
Kirkus Reviews
The description of the trek, necessarily condensed, is accurate in many details and certainly in tone, conveying something of the beauty, challenge, and love of life that drives many climbers.
School Library Journal
Readers will enjoy the book for the adventure of climbing in the Himalaya and for reading about children...capable of astounding feats.
