This is one of the best Children’s Literature books I have ever read. This book contains lots of suspense and detail. Overall, I do recommend it. One day a boy named Rudi decides to climb this very very large mountain named the Citadel. This mountain has a history of the cause of many deaths of climbers. The reason why Rudi decides to climb the Citadel is because it has always been his father's dream to climb this mountain.

This inspired Rudi to finished his father's legacy and train to climb the mountain.Rudi was always a skinny boy from Switzerland so this would be a challenging task for him. Rudi always had the strive to climb mountains but his mother forbids him from climbing. Also, Rudi has always been studying the Citadel and different ways that will be easier and beneficial towards him when climbing it. The reason why Rudi’s mom forbids him from climbing the Citadel is because she does not want him to follow in his father's footsteps and die; but Rudi just wants to finish what his dad started because his dad never finish climbing to the top of the Citadel.

In my eyes I loved the book I rate it a 9/10, its had a good twist and turn to it. I loved this
I would recommend this book to people who love realistic stories. Personally for me it is hard to find books that interest me and this one felt like if I was watching someone else's life while I read it. It has so many interesting points. When you think something might happen
Through his storytelling he shows us that the choices we make and the risks we take, when considering outside forces, may be the best course of action. Daniel Woodrell validates this by showing us Ree’s situation and how her course of action, which lead to positive outcomes. Throughout the story Ree is presented with a tough situation where she must decide a quick course of action. She must either wait and see if her father show’s up or take matters into her own hands and hunt him down herself. Deciding a course of action is a natural and necessary process of human life that can lead to either success or failure. We cannot avoid deciding a course of action especially when we have outside forces motivating us to do something fast. “Winter’s Bone” is a short novel that leaves us with an important life lesson. Putting our lives at risk for the ones we love allow us to feel good about our course of action knowing we are protecting them. If we decide courses of actions based on what we think is right for our loved ones, then we will make smarter and better choices that will lead to positive
My overall opinion of this book is good I really liked it and recommend it to anyone. It is a good book to read and it keep you interested throughout the whole book.
Did you like the book? would you recommend this book to others? Why or why
I really enjoyed this book because it was not a story about the middle of the Second World War. Instead it was right before, when things were not as bad, but they were bad enough. It helped me understand how people lived before the hatred grew and how families were torn apart right from the beginning. Likewise, it gave me hope to see that not everything was destroyed and that some people were able to escape. I would recommend this book more for boys but for girls as well, between the ages of 13-15. Even though Karl’s age throughout the book is 14-17, the novel was written more for my age group. Once again this was an amazing book that I could not put down, and I am sure many others were not able to either.
I would recommend this book for anyone to read. It's a great story and can show anyone a lesson. I really liked it! It

High school students in many American schools first read this book in an English class, which has been a staple for many schools. A required reading assignment exposes many more people to the book. Even though the book is considered to be a children’s book by many, it is still enjoyed by people of all ages.
The good points about the book were that it always left you hanging. At the end of every page it left you wondering about what will happen on the next page. It had a very good story if you like the kind of story it is.
“What?” Sun-Jo was appalled at the fact that Peak had decided not to conquer the summit of Mount Everest. How could he give up such a glorifying moment? Peak would have been the youngest boy to ever reach the summit, however, he realized he didn’t want the fame. Sun-Jo was only a few days older than him, and if Sun-Jo reached the summit and Peak did not, he would be the youngest person to summit Everest. Also, Sun-Jo’s family was living on the other side of the mountain and he needed to get to the other side so that he could reconnect with his family. Since Peak avoided his mother’s advice to think of himself and only himself, he did not make it to the top. Many other characters, unlike Peak, were selfish and although it helped some, others were less fortunate.
This was a great book, but took me a lot longer to finish then most, simply because of how upsetting some of the things talked about are. If you’re look for a book that will make you think, and bring tears to you’re eyes, and teach you a thing or two a highly recommend this book, and might actually read it again myself. Hopeful my eyes can stay dry this time.
The story begins when Rudi was forced to work at the hotel as a dishwasher. However, he still loves to climb mountains and his goal
This book is a very interesting read, if you have some self discipline. I mean that you need some self discipline because this book didn’t really captivate me in the sense that I couldn’t put it down. But after reading it for a while, I started to appreciate the author’s way of describing the characters and actions in this book.
A blast of adrenaline charges throughout my body as I experience the initial drop. My body's weight shifts mechanically, cutting the snow in a practiced rhythm. The trail curves abruptly and I advance toward a shaded region of the mountain. Suddenly, my legs chatter violently, scraping against the concealed ice patches that pepper the trail. After overcompensating from a nearly disastrous slip, balance fails and my knees buckle helplessly. In a storm of powder snow and ski equipment, body parts collide with nature. My left hand plows forcefully into ice, cracking painfully at the wrist. For an eternity of 30 seconds, my body somersaults downward, moguls of ice toy with my head and further agonize my broken wrist. Ultimately veering into underbrush and pine trees, my cheeks burn, my broken wrist surging with pain. Standing up confused, I attempt climbing the mountain but lose another 20 feet to the force of gravity.
