    <body><![CDATA[Greg Mortenson is an amazing person. I did not see this book as a way for him to &quot;toot his own horn&quot; but rather a way to gain support from citizens across the United States.  Toward the end of the book Greg states, &quot;I don't do what I am doing to fight terror, I do it because I care ab...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49090802">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This title is an excellent adaptation of the adult version. In 1993, Greg Mortenson tries to climb K2, the second highest mountain in the world.  Weak and disoriented during his dissent, he takes a wrong turn and ends up in the village of Korphe, where the chief of the village and his family save hi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41846590">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I had the privledge of hearing author and humanitarian Greg Mortenson speak in San Antonio and the gist of the message was that education means hope. We’ve been talking a lot about hope recently. How audacious of us. This is the YA version of his adult book with the same title.

It's the teen version of a book of the same name (also comes as a picture book for young children.

    <body><![CDATA[This is a worthwhile book for young people to read, but I have one minor quibble.  On p21, a reference to Mortenson’s sister’s death at an early age is attributed to vaccination. Perpetuating this type of ignorant myth-making is entirely inappropriate for readers too young to be aware that the c...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78494112">more...</a>]]></body>
