An action-packed adventure about friendship, sacrifice and risking everything for Everest. That was the publishers review, and Peak is basically that. It's about a teenage boy who gets caught climbing a skyscraper, you know, like we all do. He is faced with the choice of going to live with his father in Thailand or Juvenile detention. As you would expect he chooses to live with his father. The only thing is that his dad wants him to be the youngest person to climb Mt.Everest.
The story has lots of suspense and you seem to be one of the characters, which is good. The real life facts about climbing I found interesting but some bits in the story made my teeth grind. An easy book to get into with it's fair share of action, Peak makes a good read for ages 12-15.
