One of the most popular characters so far in the Charlie Lupton books has been Sherpa Pemba, who appeared in Charlie Lupton’s Sherpa Adventure. A short story has now been written about Pemba. It is available for free on this website and is entitled Last Flight to Lukla. What is the significance of Lukla? It is a few days walk from Everest and it is the most dangerous airport in the world …
There is also an activity sheet based on this story which teachers can use, entitled Landing by Verbs, available on the Resources page. Children don’t have to have read the story to do the activity.
