THE KID WHO CLIMBED EVEREST is a tale of courage and determination. Bear's quest for funding for his expedition, his seventy days on Everest's southeast face, and a narrow brush with death after a fall into a crevasse at nineteen thousand feet, make the story an essential read for anyone who's ever had a dream and made it come true.

Reviews

"Fascinating reading."
-Tony Blair, Prime Minister of England
"A vivid and inspiring read."--"Kirkus Reviews"
"I highly recommend this remarkable book, and I know its readers will be as spellbound as I have been."
--Michael, Prince of Kent
"Bear Grylls, the youngest [Briton] to ascend Everest, did so agter many months recovering from a broken back. He writes convincingly of feat and doublt. This is an honest and compelling story."
-Sir Ranulph Finnes, author of "Mind over Matter: The Epic Crossing of the Antarctic Continent."
"Bear Grylls is a young man with skills beyond his years, both in climbing and story telling. This book, like the feat of summiting Everest itself, is a great triumph of the human spirit."
--Mike Tidwell, author of" In the Mountains of Heaven: Tales of Adventure on Six Continents"
