Everest, book two was a very interesting story written by Gordon Korman. The story was about a 13 year old named Dominic. Dominic loved to climb and he was pretty good at it. Dominic got an invitation from Summit Quest, they invited Dominic to climb the Everest with a team they selected (if Dominic get to the top he would be the smallest person climbing Everest). The team was conformed by Cap. Cicero (climbing legend), Perry ( he was in the team because his uncle was the owner of Summit Quest), Sammi, Tilt (if Dominic doesnt gets to the top he will be the youngest climbing Everest), Nestor and doctor Oberman. The book told us about what climbers needed to do in order for them to climb Everest, they needed to go up very slow so that they didn't get HAPE (altitude sickness), Dominic wasn't so careful so he get HAPE but it wasn't that bad, Tilt was desesperated he wanted Dominic out of Summit Quest team so he contacted people in US telling them that Dominic was sick and he shouldn't climb Everest. During the story lots of accidents happen for example a Japonese climber had an accident and he needed a helicopter to go up to get him in order for him to survive. In everest the Summit Quest also find more climbing legends like Ethan Zaph (holds on the record of the youngest person climbing Everest) and natives like the sherpas (Domic and them become friends). Tilt did everything he could to try to get Dominic out of the team and he get it, a helicopter with 2 soldiers came looking for Dominic, Cap. Cicero told them he was at base camp and that he was not climbing Everest (he was hidden in the back of the room) they believe him and then they leave. Ethan, Nestor and Pasang (other climber) went first when they were over the 27 thousand feet they run out of rope so they contacted Cap. Cicero, When they were talking an avalanche got them and they lost communication, so the other members of the team went up to try to rescue them. When they finally found them all of them were good exempt for Nestor, he was pretty bad hurt. Dominic made a plan so they could get nestor down until a camp so he could see a doctor. His plan worked and he saved Nestor live. All of the team was waiting news of Nestor, when finally the doctor told them he was going to be fine they had the idea of finishing what they started climbing Everest.dificar.
