Description

A thrilling adventure trilogy from Gordon Korman that follows a group of young climbers to the top of Mt. Everest!

The height of competition.

Who will be the youngest person ever to climb Mount Everest? It's the ultimate test of endurance and skill. The mountain has claimed the lives of many climbers.

Now Summit Athletic, the sports drink and energy bar company, is sponsoring a reality contest-twenty of the county's youngest climbers competing for four spots in a chance to climb Everest, the tallest mountain the world. The competition is fierce, and the kids haven't even finished with boot camp in the Rockies.

Some aren't ready for what they will face. And some will stop at nothing to get to the top.
