There have been other gamebooks about mountain climbing, but Everest: You Decide How to Survive! has a stronger factual basis than any I know. Co-authors Bill Doyle and David Borgenicht invited David Morton, who had summited Mount Everest six times as of this book's publication, to help write the story, and it shows. This isn't a romanticized adventure of scaling sheer cliff walls and braving arctic cold all the time. There's a lot of backtracking from one base camp to another, slowly acclimating to the thin air and temperature changes. Courage isn't the greatest asset in attempting Everest; a keen mind is, one that recognizes the dangers of scaling the highest mountain on earth. If your body is slow to adapt to the pressure shift between altitudes, or you wake up feeling unwell and could use extra time to recuperate, it's almost always the correct choice to listen to your body and not climb Everest when you don't feel right. Emphasizing responsible decisions isn't the most exciting way to build a story, but the authors want to bring the real experience to readers, and the've done that in this book. Any reader who makes it to the pinnacle of Mount Everest and survives the descent all on their first try has achieved something remarkable.
Garrett Scott (from Australia), Julia Reyez (Argentina), and you are thirteen-year-old amateur mountaineers with experience on some of the world's highest peaks. Sponsored by Jake Staples, head of a video game company, you three are ready to attempt becoming the youngest to ever climb Mount Everest. Your adult guides include Hans Moser (an ambitious Swiss climber), Russ Morello (a veteran summiteer and former marine) and Russ's wife, "Doc", who will evaluate your team's health throughout the expedition. Jake Staples is also going, as well as fifteen Sherpa guides. Lhakpa Sherpa, only nine years your senior and eager to summit Everest for the first time, is assigned to you. The journey gets off to a designed slow start, but you have important choices from the get-go. Will you adhere to every word of your Expedition File (located at the back of Everest: You Decide How to Survive!, to be read before starting the story), even if a recommended course of action seems overcautious? You have zero room for error on your Everest excursion; you might survive if you make a minor mistake, but your pathway to the ultimate success will be cut off. Take the Expedition File seriously and refer back to it if in doubt, for careless blunders can not only end your bid for a world record on Everest, but lead to your death.
Ascending Everest is a weeks-long process, and the closer you get to the end, the more tempted you'll be to set caution aside and take the summit if it's within reach. That loss of focus can be lethal, and you're not the only one vulnerable to it once the peak is in sight. You'll have to assess the situations you're in objectively, deciding when to back off and attempt the last leg of the climb another day, and when to press your advantage and finish the quest while the narrow window is open. Don't let yourself be talked into ascending when you're in poor health or the weather is worsening. It will hurt to turn back with the pinnacle in sight, but sometimes walking away from making history is the wise course of action, and you'll win the respect of your peers by recognizing when that time has come. There'll be no celebration if you drag yourself to the top and then die on the way down, victim of an avalanche, fall, or freezing in a blizzard. But if you do survive the summit with your friends and assortment of guides, the euphoria is like no other. Celebrating on top of the planet with the people you partnered with to get there puts you in an exclusive group you'll always be proud you earned membership into. No wonder people who climb Everest together tend to remain close for life.
I like the brief cinematic switches to the style of a graphic novel for action scenes. Yancey Labat's illustrations are suited for this; I'm not surprised he had done work with Marvel Comics. The traditional storytelling is evocative, too. Whether it's a rough climb up a towering sheet of ice, the majesty of billions of stars dotting the inky sky as you gaze upward from your mountain vantage point, or the forbidding bite of wind and snow if you're caught in a whiteout, you'll feel to some degree as though you've actually been to scale Mount Everest. You may not achieve ultimate success on your first trip, but there will be more opportunities as long as you think smart and survive. With luck, fortitude, and iron resolve, you'll reach the top of Everest eventually. In my opinion, this book is more cohesive and satisfying than the second in the series, about colonizing Mars. Everest: You Decide How to Survive! has lots of action, detailed content, and a sense of accomplishment when you reach the ultimate success. Adventurous readers will have fun with it.

Interesting and informative the consequences of the decisions were logical and it was good to have many possible non-death alternative endings. I did sometimes feel like the character I was playing would not have made the correct choice based on how it was written, but I chose what was correct according to the guide at the back of the book so that I could successfully summit. I was disappointed that the writers made the summit the end of the story when in truth success is only achieved when you are safely down the mountain again, and more wrong choices are often made on the way down than on the way up. This was explored in one of the alternate endings but not the "successful" one.

I achieved the ultimate success!

It’s the return of the “choose your own adventure” books! You remember those, right? This time around, the folks behind The Worst- Case Scenario series REALLY bring the adventure to life. It’s a combination of the probable real-life adventure they chose and the way in which the outcomes were created.
Did you know it takes about TWO MONTHS to actually summit? No lie. The number of times you have to climb to Camp I and then back down etc....no wonder it's called the adventure of a lifetime. When creating this book and the very real outcomes, the authors consulted a real live mountaineer, Mr. David Morton, thus adding that extra depth and insight found throughout the text. You’ll feel like you’re right there with your fellow teammates every shallow breath of the way. Let’s not forget about the illustrations throughout the book lending you a visual guide to your literary adventure to the top of the world. In striking black and white, the illustrator brings to life the vivid events and images being described in the text.
Things to note.... first, the special Expedition File included at book’s end. It's meant to PREPARE you for the journey with information and hints you'll need along the way. Second, there are MORE books already scheduled in the series, so if you enjoy this adventure (as I did) there will be more to come.
Recommended read for all ages. It’s an adventure in the making and a learning experience all in one. What’s not to love about that? Happy reading.... ^_^

In the great tradition of the "choose-your-own-adventure" series, this book takes you to Nepal as part of the youngest team to ever climb Mount Everest. If you take the time to read the useful "Expedition File" at the end, which includes helpful tips for avoiding food poisoning, frostbite, and falling into crevasses, and possess some basic common sense, you will make it to the top successfully. But where's the fun in that? The real fun is in the multiple worst-case scenarios that lead to your miserable death on the mountain! I really enjoyed all the comic panels and illustrations and think this will be a popular series for boys! (So far there is one other book in the series, a journey to Mars.)
August 3, 2016
While the illustrations were nice and the plot was decent, there just weren't enough choices in this book, and those it has are obvious. (Excepting the apple pie. That was odd.) The book isn't long enough to justify its own existence.

Since I'm a huge fan of interactive media, this book was an interesting read to say the least. You get to decide how the characters act in different situations that determine whether they are going to survive or they meet an untimely demise. You, the protagonist belong in a Everest climbing group with different unique individuals. You have kids like Garret and Julia who are near you age group to adults. You have to make smart decisions on the mountain to prevent getting a bad ending. The back of the book has a survivalist tips section so make sure to read that first or else....

On an expedition to climb Mount Everest, the reader chooses between alternatives throughout the book. Only one series of choices will lead to the top of the mountain and safely home. Illustrated in comic book style and based on real, true life facts about mountain climbing, Mount Everest, and Himalayan culture. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a great adventure!

This is a fun adventure book for middle school age kids. First, you read some advice on how to climb safely, and then as you read, every so often, you have to choose how you will proceed to make it to the summit safely. If you make a poor choice, the story is over. If you make all the best choices, you reach the summit of Everest. Similar to the Choose Your Own Adventure books.

4 stars from my 7 year old. We survived Everest on our first trip! Then of course we went back to die a thousand deaths. Was lots of fun. Enjoyed talking about the mountain with M. Off to the Amazon next!
March 9, 2020
It is a great book and the decisions that you have to make along the book make the book way better!
March 11, 2020
Yay, got the ultimate ending at the first time!
April 26, 2020
Kind of a pain to read as a Kindle edition, but my 9 year old mostly like it a lot. And answered well, since Everest is a current obsession for him.
February 27, 2023
If you read the guide in the back, the right choices are almost always obvious.

A series I would have loved as a kid and still enjoy as an adult. Love the switch to graphic comic-style illustrations during exciting sequences.

After finding my collection of these books, hiding on a bookshelf, I thought it only time to give them another go! I’m pretty sure I remembered how to get through most of it, but I wanted the challenge.
You join the youngest team to ever climb Everest. With the useful fact file at the back, you must navigate your way up the whole mountain and make it out alive!
I think this was the book I had, when I was younger, with the most endings, making it, arguably, the most difficult! I only died twice in this one and they were tenuous page turns each time so we nearly had a clean sweep.
I love the unique setting of this book too and that this book helps you learn something too, in a fun and interesting way. I would’ve never known all this awesome stuff about what it is like to ascend Everest and how much it actually takes. The Sherpas and the yaks were particularly interesting to read and learn about
As always, your team and the characters who come along with you on your journey are incredibly well thought out. If you manage the clean path, you get a main interaction with each of them, which is lovely and gets you to understand them more. There aren’t too many characters so this is difficult too, just the right amount.
I guess the only disadvantage of this book, and why I gave it only 4 stars, is because once you’ve found the clear path through the book, you’ve sort of done it. It’s still fun to go back and see all of the endings (the ones where you tragically die too), but once you’ve found your clear path, it sort of takes the extra fun and intrigue out of it.
Overall, a thrilling read as always. Still gutted I know most of the clear path but it was a lovely bit of nostalgia. I wish we sold these in the shop. I can see a lot of kids out there becoming just as obsessed as I was with these books.

I read this after the Amazon book, and I was feeling good about it because I loved the Amazon book so much. Once again, another successful adventure- I figured it out on the first try. I have hiked the Inca Trail but nowhere as high as Everest, so I understand hiking at altitude, but without the frostbite and oxygen masks. In its own way, the extreme cold was scarier than all the creatures you encounter in the Amazon. Minnesota's winters have been mild lately, so it's been a long time since I have experienced nosebleed cold.
I don't know if this counts as a spoiler, so if you want to try the book out for yourself you should not read this paragraph:
The trick to this book is that you do have to give up a few times before you win. For me, it was a metaphor in a way, because I have been clawing my way towards my second bachelor's degree for at least 7 years. It has been a tedious process but I will be done in November. Slow and steady is how it's done.
The characterization here is good. There are several team members here, who if you follow their lead will get you killed. You must remain firm.
I would definitely put this book in a classroom library. I enjoyed it immensely.

You are the main character in the book and a member of an expedition to climb Mt. Everest. In the style of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" books, you are given a choice at major parts of the trip. Depending upon your choice, you will actually make it to the summit.. or not. Before starting the story, the reader is given instructions to read the Expedition File at the back of the book. This is an illustrated guide to help you in making the right decisions while reading the story. It's made to look like an envelope with handwritten instructions, maps, lists, and so forth, written by your guides.
I like this one, with all the different possible outcomes. I tried to keep up with the choices, going back and reading both to see what would have happened if I chose the other possibility, but it became too complicated. Most of the ones I did read showed logical possibilities and I think it'll keep the reader interested. I can see one reading it over and over, making a different decision just to see what happened -- and readers would do this even if they made it to the top of the summit in one reading. C+ rating.

In this "You Decide" scenario, you are part of a teen team trying to summit Mount Everest and become the youngest hiking team to do so. Along the way, you are faced with various choices, some of which may be obvious and others not so obvious. The choices you make send you to different pages in the book, and either your quest is over or it continues, depending on your climbing savvy. The descriptions of your fellow team members may lead you to be somewhat mistrustful of the others. You are advised to read the Expedition File at the end of the book since it offers survival tips that you will ignore at your own risk. As with these types of books, reading this one is great fun since there is a "you are there" quality about your vicarious adventure.
October 22, 2013
I gave this book only 3 stars because the book is a choose your own adventure book, which is fine, but it started to get too confusing. Sometimes, I would make the wrong decision and I could go back and fix my mistake. As I got further in to the story, it was getting harder to fix my mistakes, because I kept trying different routes, all where I died. I tried going back to the beginning of the story, but that only got me to a closer end. I got pretty frustrated with the book, so I ended up killing the main character and saying the end. It looks like the author did a pretty good job writing it because where the story was going was making it sound pretty interesting, which is why I gave it some stars.

The "Choose Your Own Adventure" genre lives: this time with better production values and graphics. Unfortunately, I'm not sure this works as well in book format any longer.
The formula stays the same - at different points in the book readers are asked which option they choose (eg, "If you unclip to go with Hans, turn to pg 59" or "If you stay on the fixed rope and skip the pic, turn to pg 137") with a possible 26 different "routes" though the book. Imagine that in eBook format, with animation instead of graphics, linking to the different options rather than having readers flip back and forth through the book.

These are newer, better versions of the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books I read as a kid. They are all based on a real-world surviver type scenarios for kids, such as The Amazon, Everest, Trip to Mars, etc. I think there are 5 or 6 so far. These make eager reading for boys in late elementary grades 3-5. After reading one of them, and I can't remember which but maybe the one about climbing Mt. Everest, Jack complained that he had tried every combination of every scenario and couldn't find anyway to actually LIVE. Which I think might be a good lesson for him. My only complaint is that these books are too quick of a read.
March 2, 2015
I make one poor decision and miss making it to the top! Frustrating! Well, at least I can try again. This is a great little stroll down memory lane. A revival of the choose-your-own- adventure novels. This new series by the a Worst-Case scenario people heartens back to my younger years and is definitely for the preteen/ teen age group. It is perfect for Boy Scouts and others who like to dream of outdoor adventures. What I especially like is the background, or preparation, materials. It made this not only a fun adventure , but also a course in planning and preparedness. I could have used even more support training. Fun book.

Everest: You Decide How to Survive!
David Borgenicht
This is an interesting setup for this book. I enjoyed the fact that you choose the way to go and the many, many options of the plot. This stories of these members are exiting with many options to adventure.
You can choose different endings to the book and different ways to go. each character has a different personality and a reason they came to climb the mountain. Its in a format like "go to page, 33 if you want to eat apple pie". Its really interesting cause there are many different ways to go its like 10 books in one with different stories.

I never was really a fan of Choose Your Own Adventure, but I like that this one gives you the tools you need to make good decisions before you actually start reading. But, since those tools ARE supposed to be read before the book, WHY do they put them at the end? I assume this has something to do with the printing and assembling costs (the supplemental materials are in color while the rest of the book is black and white), but I can't imagine a kid reading the intro and then going straight to the back without taking a peak at the story.
March 27, 2014
I made it! I needed a choose your own adventure style Everest book, so I thank the authors for providing this. I will say that if you are one of those people, like myself, that reads everything, you will have found the directions to read the Expedition File before starting the adventure. This made it pretty easy to make good decisions throughout the book. I did fail to summit once before choosing all of the correct options, but that occasion did not lead to death (YAY!). Fun book!
February 17, 2016
Great for reluctant readers that will enjoy choosing their own story path. The "Expedition File" at the end of the book should be read first. Pertinent, factual information informs the reader and prepares them for successful decision making. There is only one path that will lead to the "ultimate success." However, there are 24 possible outcomes, some of which--to the delight of most kids--lead to a final demise. Kids love to tell me, "I died five times!"
July 5, 2016
This is a create your own adventure book where your decisions determine the final outcome.
It is a book made for a middle aged kid so it was hard for me to enjoy it as much as others might.
I have always liked books like this although this is not my favorite. I didn't make it to the top and back in my two storylines. Apparently there are 26 different possible endings.
This book took me back to my childhood.

This book was awesome. I loved how you got to choose how to go through the book. Another great thing about it was being in first person view. This was really cool because it made you feel like you were actually in the book. And going on this adventure yourself, which was my favorite part. A nice thing about this book is that if you make a bad decision you may end up dying. This book is for anyone that likes action and adventure books. I would recommend this book to anyone.
January 16, 2015
I did not like this book. The only way that you get to Everest's peak is if you die on the way down. In fact, the only way you don't die is if you "save" Hans's life and fail to climb the mountain, but know you will be back next year. What a load of absolute rubbish. I am sorry I wasted my life on this piece of trash.
