Sandra M.Sandra M.: What a captivating story about two men with such a pioneering spirit. It was an excellent story about ambition, tenacity, and demonstrated that you can do anything you put your mind to. It was so exciting to turn the page to see what happens next. Great inspirational book for kids!

Amazon Customer: Nought these for my fourth grade grandson to read for homeschooling. They are a little easy for him but it works for because he has ADHD and these books really keep him interested.

LCS77ofDerbsyhire: I was most impressed with this book. The text print size is just perfect for an 8 year old to read. My son absolutely loved this. We both read it together at bedtime and we became so engrossed we read it all in one evening! The true story is so compelling it hooks you in from the start and the amazing illustrations help to bring the story to life and make you feel like your on the journey with these two hero's. I can highly recommend it to any child weather they're interested in mountains / mountain climbing or not. They most likely will be after reading this! It's also one that you can pick up and read again and again.

Z Hayes: I purchased these books (most of the titles in the Step 4 and 5 series) several months ago, but have been giving them out one at a time to my daughter, who is currently in first grade. She loves to read fiction, and has devoured many of the chapter books I've purchased for her or checked out of the library. I was looking for an interesting series of non-fiction books for her, and these seemed like the perfect introduction to the genre.

This title covers the epic journey that led to the success of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in scaling Mt. Everest back in 1953. I was amazed at how well the author managed to condense this great experience and make it suitable for young readers. It captures all the tension of the mission, as well as mundane details like what the pair had for breakfast before they ascended Everest. Also, the illustrations on each page motivate young readers, especially visual learners like my daughter.

The Step 5 readers are described as "ready for chapters, grades 2-4", though children who are younger and are at an advanced reading level will find these books interesting and suitably challenging as well.

Treetop learning: I purchased this book along with several others because of its high interest topic, for my son, who is very capable, but at times, a reluctant reader. He became quickly engrossed in the story and read it in two sittings. I recommend this book for its ability to engage and inform. I am impressed with the content of the book, which lacks no important information for any young person curious about the pursuit of Mt. Everest. The drawings and photographs are also appealing. Our son is 8 and reads at a fourth grade level, and this book is recommended for second to fourth grade readers. The bottom line for us is keeping him interested with good material, which this book accomplished easily. He is looking forward to more :)
