Summary

The inspiring story of Alyssa Azar, an ordinary girl from country Queensland who worked to ascend the world's highest peak.

'I believe that nothing is impossible if you dare to dream, plan and take action. I'm an ordinary girl who simply refused to give up on a dream, and that's all it takes to succeed in life.'

Alyssa Azar is unstoppable. When she was just eight years old, she walked the gruelling Kokoda Track, the youngest person in the world to do so. At 12 she climbed the 10 highest peaks in Australia. Two years later she touched the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. Now, at the age of 19, she has reached the roof of the world: the summit of Mount Everest.

The Girl Who Climbed Everest is the inspiring story of how an ordinary girl from country Queensland worked towards ascending the world's highest peak. Through passion, determination and immense hard work, and despite being turned back twice - once by a deadly avalanche and the second time by a devastating earthquake that nearly claimed her life - Alyssa is the youngest Australian to have achieved this extraordinary feat. She shares the thrills and heartbreaking disappointments on the road to reaching her goal and explains how she finds the courage and motivation to keep going in the face of overwhelming danger and adversity. Above all, Alyssa's story shows us that we can achieve anything if we dare to dream big.

Great story but disappointed with the book

It’s an inspiring story and She sounds like an amazing girl, but I was so disappointed that the actual successful Everest summit was brushed over in the last 30 minutes of the book after being invested in the book for over 7 hours...no detail, no real feeling of the experience and it sounded like she could’ve been walking anywhere. I’ve heard elite SAS struggle with Everest but she seemed to breeze through a summit attempt like it was a hill stroll. Sometimes felt like the writing of the book was aimed at under 16’s.
