stop there. In this inspiring young adult memoir, he tells how he
achieved such great heights.

fifteen, he became the youngest person to reach the summits of the
tallest mountains on each of the seven continents. In this energizing
memoir for young adults, Jordan, now seventeen, recounts his experience,
which started as a spark of an idea at the age of nine and, many years
of training and hard work later, turned into a dream come true.
