About this title

Synopsis

Jordan Romero was a regular 9 year old boy. He loved BMX biking, listening to music, hanging out with his friends and family, and studying nature and reptiles. Then one day Jordan spotted a map of the tallest mountains on Earth's seven continents, including massive Mt. Everest--the tallest of all. Jordan could not take his eyes off of that map; his head was filled with thoughts of snow-covered peaks, jagged rocks, billowing white clouds and deep blue skies. Climbing those mountains was a far-off dream. But Jordan was determined to make it happen.

Jordan and his family would need to train hard, hold lots of fund raising events, and obtain corporate sponsorships. Only these efforts could transform his dream into reality.

 

Four years later, Jordan stood and gazed down at those peaks and cloudy skies from the 29,035 ft. summit of Mt. Everest. He had reached his goal:

To conquer the mightiest of mountains and inspire other kids to dream BIG.
