Peak (book)

Peak (book)

"Peak" is a children's novel, written by Roland Smith.

The book starts out with Peak introducing himself and his family. Then, the event that sets the plot into motion occurs. 14 Year old Peak Marcello is arrested for climbing a skyscraper. Peak's biological father Joshua Wood gets Peak out of having to stay in a Juvenile Detention Center by bringing Peak to live with him in Chiang Mai, Thailand. But they don't go there. Instead, they stay at a hotel, where Joshua explains to Peak that if he reaches the summit of Mt. Everest before his birthday, he would be the youngest person to ever stand above 29,000 feet. I thought that the book was very compelling.
