I liked Krakauer and already taught Into the Wild to my seniors who take my college credit-bearing class. I forget what book I brought with me to read, but I wasn’t reading it. I wandered into Back of Beyond Bookstore while on vacation with my husband, and there it was: a used copy of Into Thin Air. Thank you to the students of Ellenville High School in New York for sharing your stories and essays with us, and thank you to teacher Kristy Wilson for sharing her story: It sounds like the students have been totally captured by the adventure and tragedy of the book and have taken away some valuable lessons for everyday life. We were especially happy to receive a note from a teacher in New York who has been teaching Into Thin Air to her English students. Over 15 years later, we’re proud and honored to see that Scott Fischer’s legacy still inspires young people all over the world.
