Swyler's writing surpasses her first book. This is a beautiful story, well told, poignant. The main protagonist is an eleven year old girl, Nedda, smart and ambitious. She desires to reach the stars. It is also a story of love, loss, and discovery. It's classified as fiction, yet the story opens in space on board a module traveling to a new planet. The science--chemistry and physics--are not overwhelming and are important to the story. This is a book I would read again.

Fascinating account of an attempt to climb the second highest mountain. the tragic death of one member of the team and the bonding of the remaining men as they return to basecamp
