Peak is the story of a 14 year old boy who loves climbing but because he lives in New York City, most of his climbs are illegal climbs on skyscrapers. After one of his infamous escapades, he is caught and sent to jail. His absentee father, who just happens to be a famous climber, who has scaled Mount Everest on more than one occasion, comes to the rescue.
Peak's father wisks him off to Mount Everest, where he attempts a climb that would make him the youngest person ever to stand above 29,000 feet. We follow Peak as begins his journey to the top of the world and the discovery of who is father really is.
I found this story to be a little slow in the beginning, but once I got going, it caught my attention right through to the end. Sometimes, it is hard to find a story that will capture the interest of a teenage boy, I think this is a book that most teenage boys would love.
