👍

Good

worse quality and it is like a copied version

I loved the book

Fascinating and informative especially at a time of presidential elections that show no great display of human values.It' a great comfort to know that some people are interested in more than how to avoid paying income tax.

inspirational and true which an older child or to young adults will enjoy.Great teaching for PHSE.One very brave selfless man and an outstanding example of what a civilised human is.

I ordered this for my adult English-as-a-Second-Language students, and it's been very successful. It's the same inspiring, riveting story as the original, but the language is simpler and the story is shortened and made appropriate for middle-schoolers--i.e., less scary, no sexual content, and less political complexity. My ESL students could obviously handle the adult content, but they can't handle the vocabulary and grammatical structures in the original, so this Young Readers' Edition has been a good choice. It includes the maps and nearly all the wonderful photographs of the original, and has some useful additions, like a glossary, time line, a who's who list, and a surprisingly candid interview with Greg Mortenson's then-12-year-old daughter. I should add that though simplified, the vocabulary--designed for native-speaker preteens--is still pretty challenging for even intermediate ESL learners. But it's not overwhelming, and in any case is outweighed by the power of Mortenson's story, and by the universal relevance of his message of education and peace.

I think this book is a fine example of how young readers can become aware of difficcult issues that affect people like themselves in other parts of the world. It is a great opporunity to begin to instill a sense of the wider world outside of self.
