I am reviewing a copy of Junko Tabei Masters the Mountain through Rebel Girls and Netgalley:
Junko is very bad at athletics! Other students make fun of her because they think she is small and weak! When her teacher takes the class on a trip to a mountain. It’s bigger than any Junko’s ever seen, but she is determined to make it to the top. Ganbatte, her teacher tells her. Do your best.
After Junko's first trip she becomes a Mountaineer in body as well as in Spirit. She climbs snowy mountains, rocky mountains, and even faraway mountains outside of her home country of Japan. She joins clubs and befriends fellow climbers who love the mountains as much as she does. Then, Junko does something that’s never been done before… she becomes the first woman to climb the tallest mountain in the world.
Junko Tabei Masters the Mountains is more than the story of the story of the first woman to climb Mount Everest., it's also a story about conquering fears, personal growth and never shying away from a challenge.
I give Junko Tabei Masters the Mountains five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
