Everest Series by Gordon Korman

The 6th Grade Boys Book Club has read the entire Everest series over the past few months. This is what they have to say.

The Contest

The Contest is an action packed book. Dominic wants to achieve a goal to be the youngest person to climb Mount Everest. But, so do a lot of other teeenagers. One kid named Perry doesn't really want to participate, but he feels obligated to go because of his uncle's sponsorship. As Dominic goes along he faces trouble. Does Dominic win the contest or will he pay a price?

The Climb

The group traveled up Everest but along the way a kid named Tilt tries to lead Dominic the wrong way. Tilt cheated to try and beat Dominic but Dominic found his way. Will Dominic survive the rest of the climb?

The Summit

Dominic got sick from the altitude because his body wasn't develped enough to breathe air that high. So they brought him to the mountain's medical center. After he got better and began to cliimb, his friends found him climbing and they all joined together. They didn't think he was going to be able to make it. Ethan thanked Dominic for saving him by taking Dominic on the mountain with him. Another scary thing that happened is that Dominic ran out of oxygen. Does Dominic and the rest of his friends reach the top and acheive their goal?

The 6th Grade Boys Book club thinks that 3rd -6th graders who are interested in realistic fiction books will have a great adventure if they read this book series.

Rules by Cynthia Lord

This book is wonderful and applies to so many people. I enjoyed it because all of the action that was included in the story. I think other people might like it because it is very interesting and you always wonder what will happen to one of the characters. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.
