No Summit out of Sight - Jordan Romero

Jordan Romero climbed Mount Everest at age thirteen-and he didn't stop there. In this inspiring young adult memoir that includes color photos 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).
