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.

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.

I couldn't stop reading
I'm in 4th grade and I couldn't put this book down! It was a great adventure story, with one mystical happening leading to another. It reminded me of Indiana Jones with ancient things coming to life, like an Egyption healing pyramid in the middle of Mt. Everest. Even though some things seemed slightly hard to picture, I thought the author did a good job of describing an unfamiliar world. I've read this book twice and I want to read it again.
