Four kids. One mountain.
They come from all across America to be the youngest kid ever to climb Everest. But only one will reach the top first. The competition is fierce. The preparation is intense. The challenge is breathtaking. When the final four reach the higher peaks, disaster strikes-and all that separates the living from the dead is chance, bravery, and action.

"What's the matter with you, kid? Why don't
you look where you're going?"
"Sorry." Dominic picked up the vial and
scooted out of the way. Mom had continuous nightmares that climbing would kill at
least one member of her family. I'll bet she wasn't expecting it to happen like
this, he reflected, a little shaken.
The SUV accelerated up the ramp,
pausing at the top. The driver tossed a candy bar wrapper into the trash barrel
and drove off. It was a Summit Energy Bar. Dominic recognized the logo from where
he stood, rooted to the spot. He had climbed towering cliffs, yet walking up this
gentle slope to get that piece of paper seemed much, much harder.
He
reached into the garbage and fished out the sticky wrapper. In a way, he almost
knew what he would see before he turned it over.
A V!
It was
a ticket to the top of the world.
