With Linda LeBlanc. At nine years old, Jordan Romero decided he would climb the highest mountain on each of the seven continents. With ample support from his parents, he achieved his goal before turning sixteen. Romero recounts each climb chronologically, paying extra attention to difficult moments requiring stamina and mental fortitude. Adventure-seekers will enjoy living vicariously through Romero's travels in this earnest, occasionally thrilling memoir.
