Banner in the Sky: A Newbery Honor Award Winner

Product Information

Attitudes/Disobedience - 16 Incidents: A boy is described as playing "truant from school - even from church," running out on the job, and not caring that it causes his mother "tears." A boy asks someone not to tell anyone that he came to visit, noting that his parents would be mad. Lying: a man lies to cover for a boy not being at work. A boy is called on a lie, and continues to lie. A man lies to a mother about what her son is really doing (so she won't worry). Lying: a boy says he's not tired but he really is. A boy's lie "caught up with him." "Not a result of conscious choice or decision, it was simply what he had to do," describing the boys defiance to his mother and disobedience. When a man finds out that a boy lied, he smiles for a minute, but then gets serious about the effects of the lie. An uncle discusses how his nephew disobeyed, defied, thieved, connived, lied. A man then tell him that he and his mother drove the boy to it. A man discusses how he was lied to by the boy, but that the boy "meant no harm" and only did "what he had to do". "Right and wrong did not matter. Nothing in all the world mattered, except that he must go." "You lied to me."

(I have no intention of giving anything away, so you can continue reading with confidence.) The ending of this book came as a delightful surprise to me as it is not at all typical. Ullman eschewed the normal, somewhat worn-out ending books of this sort almost always have, instead giving us something much deeper and more meaningful. After reading the end of the book I was completely convinced that this was truly a great work of children’s literature.

This was a hard book to put down! For those adventurous souls that like to read about daring and do, this is a gutsy mountain climbing story that provides some good moral lessons to discuss too.

The book is full of climbing action and it is wonderfully vivid and tense, carrying the reader along with Rudi through his painful and dangerous exploits. As someone who hates heights, climbing is my idea of torture and I mean it as a compliment to Ullman’s skill that certain scenes made me queasy. What an idiotic pastime – but what good material for an adventure tale. He was the ghost writer for Tenzing Norgay's autobiography Man of Everest (originally published as Tiger of the Snows).

He joined the 1963 American Mount Everest Expedition as an official historian. On May 1, 1963 Jim Whittaker was the first American to reach the summit with Nawang Gombu, a nephew of Tenzing Norgay. Because of health problems Ullman had to stay in Kathmandu. His book Americans on Everest: The Official Account of the Ascent was published in 1964. Annakin wrote the film became Walt Disney's "favourite real-life movie and still has not been equalled for its climbing shots combined with a good story and romance. But there are purists who might say Walt fell between two stools. Climbing buffs have no time for the sentimental scenes between Jim and Janet, and Walt's Swiss choirs and alpenhorns, which undoubtedly soften the impact of the movie. But you could never change Walt from his determination to make complete, all-around family entertainment."

He was born in New York. He was not a high end climber, but his writing made him an honorary member of that circle. Some of his writing is noted for being "nationalistic," e.g., The White Tower.

His works include Banner in the Sky, which was a book based on the true story of the first climbing of the Matterhorn (it was filmed in Switzerland as Third Man on the Mountain), and The White Tower (which would star Glenn Ford and Lloyd Bridges).James Donald fell eighteen feet off a crag shooting a scene but escaped with minor injuries.
