A beautifully written, well crafted adventure tale for the child in all of us.

Whoever wrote this book really knew their craft. The prose manages to be deceptively simple when describing complex scenes. The flow is easy to follow, which I'm sure comes from long hours of careful editing. I really admired the transition from near non-fiction climbing scenes to a fully imagined world inside Mount Everest. Encounters with another race inside the mountain were poignant, not mawky as they could have been. I'm really looking forward to Trouble's next adventure in Sign of the Rat, as indicated by the novel's ending. It's an incredible bonus that proceeds from the book are donated to Doctors Without Borders. But even without that fact, this novel is a great read.

Everest is Hollow is a great book. I like it because it is largely based on Sherpa legend. When Sherpa babies were born with a disability, the Sherpa would pray for the Yeti to take the baby away and bring it back healed. The author's experince as a high altitude fire-fighter brings to the book great climbing tips, equipment and avalanche info. All this combined with elements of Star Wars and Indiana Jones in a memorable sequence of events making Everest is Hollow a fascinating adventure book. When is the movies coming?
a WINNER!

Wow, this book is GOOD! A wonderfully entailed world, intricately created in this book, takes you on a journey. Well written, suspenseful...it has so many elements. I agree, nothing like it since J.K. Rowling in her fabulous Hogarts world. This is sure to be a woderful, colectable series. I very much look forward to my next steps in this literary world.
Great Read

I downloaded Everest is Hollow to my Kindle and got hooked. The climbing scenes made my hands sweat. I couldn't put the story down until I finished it. I ordered book copies for the pre-teens and teens in my extended family. They've been moping about the Harry Potter series reaching the end. Now they can go on, read another boy adventure and explore a new world. I also love the idea that profits from the book sales are donated to Doctors Without Borders.
Wonderful novel!

This book is a delight to read, a tense adventure. I haven't had this much fun since discovering the Harry Potter series after JK Rowling published her fourth one. I'm glad I got in on the ground floor this time, starting the adventures of "Trouble" from the beginning with "Everest is Hollow." I had to buy a second copy for myself to finish, so I could see how the story turned out. Halfway through, I lost the first copy to my wife, who wouldn't let go of it. I also shared "Everest is Hollow" with friends at a picnic, reading some of the book aloud. They, along with their kids, were hooked. The story is hypnotic.
