Peak by Roland Smith
Peak is a fourteen old climber. Both of his parents are famous mountain climbers. He lives with his remarried mom is New York city, but when he runs into some legal troubles he soon finds himself out of the city and at the base camp of mount Everest.
This is the thrilling adventure of Peak's climb to the top of Everest. I loved the book and I wasn't expecting to. I'm not a fan of realistic fiction but this story is so well told and exciting. The story is told from Peak's perspective and his voice reads true as a teen boy. All of the supporting characters are fully formed and add something to the story. It's a clean read and I recommend this book to guys and girls who like adventure. If you know of someone who doesn't want to read, this would be a good book to give to them. The action starts on the first page and doesn't let up. My Teen Book Club loved this book.
