The best part of this book is the interview with Greg Mortenson's daughter at the end. The book itself is interesting, but the writing is rather stiff and they definitely oversimplified it in their attempt to make it for kids. However, it's an inspiring story and I loved the photos and additional materials at the end. It's definitely worth using it for those materials even if you don't read it from cover to cover. ( ) Win. Town Book Read Excellent combat feat +/ education Pg. 112 - is progress inevitable not to be questioned More than one path to future — saner way of life Anyone who despairs of the individual’s power to change lives has to read the story of Greg Mortenson, a homeless mountaineer who, following a 1993 climb of Pakistan’s treacherous K2, was inspired by a chance encounter with impoverished mountain villagers and promised to build them a school. Over the next decade he built fifty-five schools—especially for girls—that offer a balanced education in one of the most isolated and dangerous regions on earth. As it chronicles Mortenson’s quest, which has brought him into conflict with both enraged Islamists and uncomprehending Americans, Three Cups of Tea combines adventure with a celebration of the humanitarian spirit. I taught this book (which is the Young Readers' Edition) to my freshmen last year. The book includes a glossary and study questions. I was surprised by how little my students knew about 9/11. I am aware of the "scandal" surrounding Mortenson's story, but I found the message of the book meaningful and worth teaching students.
In her pared-down version, Sarah Thomson has kept the pacing and the cast of characters intact, but flat renditions of events like Mortenson’s armed kidnapping, just weeks before the birth of his daughter, fail to capture the power of the original.
