The Citadel

It stands unconquered, the last great summit of the Alps. Only one man has ever dared to approach the top, and that man died in his pursuit. He was Josef Matt, Rudi Matt's father.

At sixteen, Rudi is determined to pay tribute to the man he never knew, and complete the quest that claimed his father's life. And so, taking his father's red shirt as a flag, he heads off to face the earth's most challenging peak. But before Rudi can reach the top, he must pass through the forbidden Fortress, the gaping chasm in the high reaches of the Citadel where his father met his end. Rudi has followed Josef's footsteps as far as they will take him. Now he must search deep within himself to find the strength for the final ascent to the summit—to plant his banner in the sky.

His father died while trying to climb Switzerland's greatest mountain—the Citadel—and young Rudi knows he must make the assault himself.

Ok, so this is a book for 6th - 8th graders that I was assigned to read for a course I am teaching this summer, and I expected to get through it, but I did not expect to enjoy the book as much as I did. This is an exciting coming-of-age adventure about rock climbing that kept me in suspense and surprise the entire read. I really friggin enjoyed myself! While the strange forged friendships of the book are enjoyable, the true beauty of this book lies in the main character Rudis solo climbing

I've read this book before, and I have always loved it. A teacher back in middle school made us read this book and it has always stuck with me. Sometime last year I purchased this book and it has been sitting on my shelf for some time. I am currently re-reading it and I am enjoying just as much as I did when I had read it years ago. If you like adventure books and maybe books about foreign places, this is the book for you. Well at least try it. It's not a fast paced read, but it keeps you

This review was written for 5th and 6th graders:Just like with music, there are many good books that are popular for a few years after they come out. Some of these books stay popular. Books like Charlotte's Web, A Wrinkle in Time, and presumably Harry Potter stay popular favorites for generations after they are written. Other excellent books slowly fade away. Banner in the Sky is one of these excellent books that has faded away a bit over time. It was a Newbury Honor Book in 1954 when it was

I was surprised that it was aimed at elementary school kids. The subject matter and language seemed more advanced than that. There was certainly an intensity to the writing, and I felt I was there climbing along with them. I liked the very ending especially (where he had disappeared to go and take care of the dishes), for two reasons. One, that despite the times he had been disobedient and had lied to his mother and uncle and shirked his other duties, he had changed. This simple action proved

Sixteen-year-old Rudi Matt works as a hotel dishwasher in the 19th Century Swiss village of Kurtal. Every day of his life he's stared up at the Citadel, the one remaining unclimbed peak in the Alps. Fifteen years ago three men tried that climb. One, the hotel cook who is Rudi's boss, came back crippled. Two were carried down dead: Guide Josef Matt, Rudi's father, and his client, a great English mountaineer.Rudi understands why his mother forbids him to follow his father's profession, even though
