  1. What did Malavath do? Why does the author believe it is so admirable?
Malavath was the youngest girl to ever reach the top of Mount Everest. The Author thinks it is admirable because she is only 13 and it is very hard to climb and because she got altitude sickness and she had to go back down, but she went up again and persevered until she got to the top. They also had to do the harder side of the mountain because the government of Nepal does not allow anyone under 16 to scale the mountain. 

2. What did she have to do to get selected for the Mount Everest climb? What happened when Malavath reached the advanced base camp?

She was at a boarding school, and she got selected for training with 20 other people. She wowed her coach, and out of the two people that were chosen, she was one of them. When she reached the advanced base camp she got altitude sickness and had to go back down, but later persevered and went back up, this time reaching the top. 

3. How long did it take the team to get to the summit? What does Malavath hope her achievement will do to help other people?

It took 52 days. The young girl hopes that her achievements will inspire underprivileged people and girls all over the world, to try achieve their dreams.
