The Boy Who Climbed Everest: The story of a 13 year old boy who conquered the highest mountain in the world.

The true story of Jordan Romero

Big Reads, No Barriers — Non-fiction adventures for emerging readers

What would you do if, at just nine years old, you decided to climb the highest mountains on every continent?

Jordan Romero had a very big dream.

He wanted to climb the Seven Summits.

His journey would take him to some of the most amazing and dangerous places on Earth. He would face snow, ice, rock, freezing temperatures, thin air and huge mountains.

And then there was Everest.

At just 13 years old, Jordan stood on top of the highest mountain in the world.

But Everest was not the end.

Jordan still had one mountain left to climb.

The Boy Who Climbed Everest tells the incredible true story of a young boy who dreamed big, trained hard and refused to give up.

A BIG STORY WITH SIMPLE WORDS

Big Reads, No Barriers is a series of high-interest non-fiction books created for 11–15-year-old emerging readers.

These are not stories about, or for, little children.

They are big, exciting stories written in simple, accessible language.

The books use:

• Short sentences
• Simple vocabulary
• Short chapters
• Clear layouts
• Real people and real events
• High-interest subjects suitable for older children and teenagers
• Written in UK (British) English

This makes the series particularly suitable for readers who may have a lower reading ability or reading age, but who still want to read about adventure, danger, sport, exploration and extraordinary people.

A reader who finds a conventional 11–15-year-old book difficult can still enjoy a story about climbing Everest.

Because reading ability should never be a barrier to an exciting story.

Big Reads, No Barriers is designed for:

• Emerging readers aged 11–15
• Reluctant readers
• Children who find long or complex texts difficult
• School and classroom reading
• Independent reading
• Reading intervention programmes
• Parents looking for age-appropriate books with accessible text

The Boy Who Climbed Everest is a book about having a dream, facing challenges and taking things one step at a time.

Just like Jordan.

One step.

Then another.

Then another.

Until you reach the top.
