For July 2010 the Easy Readers Book Club is reading:
Three Cups of Tea by; Greg Mortenson & David Oliver Relin
Description
In 1993 a mountaineer named Greg Mortenson drifted into an impoverished Pakistan village in the Karakoram mountains after a failed attempt to climb K2. Moved by the inhabitants' kindness, he promised to return and build a school. Three Cups of Tea is the story of a promise and its an extraordinary outcome. Over the next decade Mortenson built not just one but fifty-five schools- especially for girls-in the forbidding terrain that gave birth to the Taliban. His story is at once a riveting adventure and a testament to the power of the humanitarian spirit.
Stay tuned for the Easy Readers Book Club reaction to this book and a description of our August pick at the end of the month!
