Climbing mountains is always a difficult task, no matter what age you are. But “imagine” you’re 13 years old and hiking Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world (in terms of feet above sea level) in 1939! At the time, nobody had ever summited Everest, and you and your group hoped to be the first! Sounds like a tall task (pun intended). 

ONE WRONG STEP by #1 NYT Bestselling author nielsenwriter explores this very scenario & more. Nielsen’s newest #kidlit book takes readers into the inner workings of mountain climbing, the social, mental & physical dynamics, as well as demonstrates the determination of just how hard people will push their bodies to save the ones they love. 

More to the story⬇️
Atlas’s mom died two years ago, and ever since, he and his mapmaking father have been traveling the w together, hiking mountains & taking in beautiful scenery, to both connect & stay disconnected following his mom’s passing away. Now with World War II potentially lurking and the Nazis wanting to be the first to summit Mount Everest, the UK wants to defeat them. The UK has brought many parties to Everest, yet none succeeded, but now, Atlas, his dad, and a motley crew are attempting to end that streak. They first acclimate to the high elevation in Tibet before they’re on the move with a guide named Chodak. However Atlas and Maddie, their two newfound friends, are deemed too young to attempt to travel to the top. They’re stuck waiting, until the day an avalanche hits and they receive an SOS message in morse code from their family - help is needed!
It’s time for the kids to climb #everest , but can they do it, are they mentally and physically strong enough to accomplish such a tremendous feat? IF it means saving their family, the answer is… Well, you’ll have to read ONE WRONG STEP to find out!
As an avid hiker and history lover myself, ONE WRONG STEP combines two of my passions into one entertaining, exciting, and inspiring #mglit read. Two strong, independent kids attempting to make history while saving their family at the same time. 
ONE WRONG STEP is a phenomenal #read ! Be sure to check it out, Jennifer Nielsen never disappoints!
