 Wonderful novel! Jul 28, 2008
By Charles Pierce II
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 Dec 05, 2008
By Michelle Stuart
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 Nov 29, 2009
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.

5 Stars - This Adventure rocks! May 19, 2009
By Madison Rawley
I loved the fast action in Everest is Hollow. The avalanches and real threats kept me reading until late at night. I was surprised to go inside the world's tallest mountain and discover a vanished civilization. It felt weirdly true and captured my attention like an adventure movie. Trouble is a cool lead character. I got lost in his travels from a Nepal bazaar to the ancient secrets hidden inside Mount Everest. I'm eager to find out what happens in the next book of this series. A thrilling and fun read!

A beautifully written, well crafted adventure tale for the child in all of us. Jan 20, 2009
By Eddie Hixson
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.
