Industry Reviews
Gr 5-8 A readable, informative look at the modern-day explorer, beekeeper turned pioneer, hero, and conservationist. The use of primary sources and interviews with Hillary and members of his family, thorough background research, and excellent-quality full-color and black-and-white photos contribute greatly to the book's success. Stewart's clear writing style covers Hillary's triumphs and disappointments as well as his current project with environmental protection of the Himalayan Mountain Region. His love for and help with building schools and improving the quality of life for the Sherpa people make this adventurer a terrific role model for young people. An excellent addition. Sharon L.
