Synopsis

Jordan Romero climbed Mount Everest at age thirteen—and he didn’t stop there. In this inspiring young adult memoir, he tells how he achieved such great heights.

On May 22, 2010, at the age of thirteen, American teenager Jordan Romero became the youngest person to climb to the summit of Mount Everest. At fifteen, he became the youngest person to reach the summits of the tallest mountains on each of the seven continents. In this energizing memoir for young adults, Jordan, recounts his experience, which started as a spark of an idea at the age of nine and, many years of training and hard work later, turned into a dream come true.

“The emotional pitch of the story remains high as Romero contends with extreme weather, frustration, exhaustion, and homesickness to reach, with almost palpable exhilaration, each peak” (Publishers Weekly).

I thought this book was really good and inspiring. For each mountain Jordan climbed he became stronger and ready to climb the next one. He accomplished his dream by 15, and I recommend this book to anyone who likes goals coming true or/and adventure.......more

I read this book in one sitting and loved it! What a great story of hard work, accomplishment, and overcoming literally giant obstacles. While I will never climb Everest, Jordan’s story truly does encourage me to take the first step and find my own Everest.......more

Goodreads review by Connor on November 17, 2020

Good inspirational story, but unrealistic. Jordan Romero's whole message is "set a goal, and go achieve it" (like he did). But there's one problem with that: we don't all have 2 super extreme sports parents that will just say "yes" because I feel like climbing Everest. That's pretty much what happen......more
