After 14yo Atlas’s mother dies while he and his father are climbing a peak in Utah, Atlas and his father throw themselves into mountain climbing and end up in Nepal to climb Mt. Everest. They join a team set to reach the unreachable, the Summit of Mt. Everest. Atlas will face the fight of his live and must make the toughest of choices.
I like how the author includes a definition at the beginning of each chapter. The setting is extremely interesting with the threat of World War II hanging over the story. The characters are believable.
The ethnicity is predominantly white.
