Peak

//Peak// by Roland Smith was a page-turner too me, I couldn't stop reading it. It was a very intense action packed book. The Author, Roland Smith really described and painted a picture for you in his book, Peak. Peak and his father that he rarely sees venture out to climb the biggest mountain in the world, Mt. Everest. If Peak can reach the summit of this gigantic Mountain he would be the youngest one to reach that fantastic goal ever. I highly recommend this book to people who don't like reading.

After being arrested for climbing a skyscraper and not even having a way to get down should say it all. When this case goes to court Peak’s dad who hasn’t been seen in five years unexpectedly shows up to bail Peak out. Then, an offer of a lifetime occurs when Peak’s dad gives him the opportunity to be the youngest person ever to climb Mount Everest. What will Peak do in this dangerous mission? Will he survive or be left frozen on top of a mountain? What will happen to Peak Marcello?

During this mission Peak encounters friends and foes. Some will stay with him and some won’t be able to make it. In these freezing temperatures barely anybody has ever experienced, Peak Marcello has to overcome if he wants to complete this difficult task.

My favorite part of this story was when Peak was about receive all the glory and instead he let his friend who is less fortunate than him receive the glory so he could have some popularity.

I highly recommend this book to you because of the touching story of friendship and the determination put out there to reach a goal. __**Reviewed by Zachary S.**__
