I actually read this book way back in 1993 as a lad of thirteen. Then, about two or three years later I got an urge to read it again. Of course, that was back when internet access for us blind folks was little more than a pipedream, so there was no posting online reviews. Anyway, I was hooked from the beginning.

Twelve-year-old Molly Newman is looking forward to a relaxing vacation on her Aunt Karen's llama ranch. Though Molly and Uncle Phil had never met before, they hit it off immediately. But Glendon, Phil's distant son, seems to strongly dislike Molly for a reason he refuses to disclose. Within days of Molly's arrival, Aunt Karen becomes desperately ill, forcing Phil to stay with her at the hospital, leaving Molly and Glendon alone on the ranch. Glendon, of course, blames Molly for his stepmother's illness. It is at this time that Molly discovers that a valuable, pregnant llama has been stolen. From there, things only get worse as the thief catches Molly and Glendon snooping around the barn and abandons them on a mountainside immediately following a deadly avalanche. Abandond on the mountain and separated from her cousin, Molly embarks on a daring and dangerous effort to find and rescue Glendon before he freezes to death. In the process, she learns a shocking truth about the identity of their attacker and a disturbing secret from Glendon's past, and the reason for his inexplicable resentment towards her.

All in all, it's the perfect adventure story. It might even make a good movie.

Nightmare Mountain by Peg Kehret, is a great book. It is a mystery that could really come true.
It is about a girl who goes and visits her aunt, uncle, and cousin. She finds out that her cousin hates her, her aunt goes to the hospital(uncle stays with aunt), and someone steals their animals.
The parts I liked best in the book were the shocking parts. Another one of my favorite parts is when Molly accidently breaks her cousin's model ship. This is a really great book.
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery.

I definitely reccomend this book to anyone that likes adventure! If you need a good book, this is a good choice! Molly goes to her Aunt and Uncle's house because her mother is off on a business trip. Her cousin, Glendon, strongly dislikes Molly because she reminds her too much of Gladys, Glendon's twin sister, who no longer lives with them, but lives with their real mother. Glendon hated Gladys because their mother treated her like an angel and didn't pay any attention to him whatsoever. A man, uncle Phil's brother, takes advantage of the llamas when aunt Karen is rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night. The man stole their favorite llama, Merrylegs, and quickly took off. Molly goes to the top of the hill where the llamas are stored and meets the man up there. Will she return back in one piece? Read this book at your local library to find out! Enjoy!!

Nightmare Mountain is one of the best books I've ever read. If you like adventures, you'll love this book! I think almost everybody will love this book. This book has a lot of cliffhangers that keep you entertained. Just a warning, if you don't have lots of time to finish a few chapters, it will drive you crazy until you scream! Our third grade class read this book. Evertime we had to stop reading the whole class would go NOOOOOOOO, PLEASE CAN WE KEEP READING!!!! WE'RE BEGGING YOU!!!!!

My favorite book I read this year was Nightmear Mountain. My first reason was because it was suspencful. You did not know who was trying to kill Karen or if anyone was going to kill her and you didn't know what would happen next. Next, I liked the characters. They seemed to have different personalities and I just liked the characters in general. Last, it had a good setting. I liked how they described it in the book and how it was in the mountains. In Conclusion, it was a good book because it was suspencful, it has good characters, and I liked the setting.

I really like this book. It's about a girl named Molly who goes to stay at her aunt and uncle's llama ranch. But her cousin Glendon is ignoring her and being mean. Then her Aunt Karen gets really sick, and Glendon blames Molly. But Molly thinks that someone is trying to kill her. Then a valuable llama is stolen, and Molly and Glendon have to find the thief. A scary, dramatic mystery that I would strongly reccomend.

I love this book! Very tense! And I couldn't put it down! I read it the first time while I was in 4th and now I am 13 and I still love it!
