Young adult listeners will hear the author's story of becoming lost while on a climbing expedition and finding himself in a Pakistani village. His promise to build a school becomes reality but not without considerable effort. Through Atossa Leoni's clear and deliberate pacing, the listener will follow Mortenson through a myriad of challenges, including a kidnapping. Through Leoni's patient narration, the genesis and importance of the title becomes clear: In Pakistan the first time you are invited in for tea it is as a stranger, the second as an honored guest, the third as family. Through hard work and devotion, Mortenson becomes family to the people he continues to help. M.B.

Leoni pleasingly narrates this young-reader's edition of the inspirational adult best-seller about Mortenson's efforts to build schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Redgrave gracefully reads Jane Goodall's heartfelt foreword, which praises Mortenson's work and tells how young listeners can help. Leoni's pleasant voice matches this true story of kindness as she recounts Mortenson's plans to repay poverty-stricken Pakistani villagers who helped save his life during a mountain-climbing expedition. She ably captures the personalities he meets along the way, including a gruff but generous millionaire benefactor, various villagers, and others. Atmospheric music enhances the production, which ends with "Three Cups of Tea," an original song sung by Jeni Fleming, accompanied by Mortenson's daughter. Due to the book's popularity, most collections will want to consider this audio. Grades 4-8. Copyright 2019 Booklist Reviews.
