The book No Summit Out of Sight is a really good book. It is about how a young kid named Jordan Romero seen a mural on a wall at school and found it interesting. He asked his dad if he could climb the seven summits and his dad let him. Later his dad and step mom took him to climb all seven of the summits plus one. He completed them all and that's how he got the title The Youngest Person to Climb the Seven Summits.
Have you been considering to read any of Jordan Romero's books? You probably haven't. If you were considering to read one of his books a good book to start out with would be No Summit Out Of Sight. If you noticed the title it's about summits/mountains and it's about a boy who looks at a mural with all the tallest mountains in the world. So he got inspired to climb all the mountains. He climbed his first mountain when he was 12. Once he tells his dad his dad wanted him to follow his dreams so they started training, struggling, and bonding on the way to climb the summits. The first mountain they climbed is in Africa and it is called Kilimanjaro. On their journey they run into lots of dangerous ice, running out of (body) energy, falling, and the agony of being cold. At the age of 15 he became the youngest person to reach the summits of the tallest mountains. His journey begins in his hometown of Georgia and he climbed mountains all over the world from 2007 to 2011. The protagonist of the book is Jordan Romero and the antagonist of the is Jordan, dad, and Karen because they struggle on there way to each and every mountain. One major conflict was the mom because she was worried about Jordan's safety and because she didn't want him to get frostbite either. Another conflict was they were in the middle of the mountain and Jordan didn't want to go any further because he was to cold and he was struggling to walk because he had no energy left. Jordan solved his conflict by resisting the cold and pushing through it. This was a very good book to read but I'm into fiction books but if you like nonfiction books this is a very good book and if you are wondering it's kinda based of a movie coming out called "Everest". But anyway read the book and enjoy.
