Dare Devil

Peak
Roland Smith

Some people in the world are very daring. They take risks that are dangerous but once it's over they feel proud of themselves. In the novel Peak, by Roland Smith, Peak is very daring. He climbs mountains, hills, buildings, and skyscrapers. One day peak was caught climbing a skyscraper and had a choice. He could go to juvy for a few months or maybe even years, or leave the city and live with his dad in Thailand. As Peak and his dad are getting ready to leave for the airport his dad surprised him. He told peak that they aren't going to Thailand just yet, but instead they are going to Scale Mt.Everest. If Peak successfully climbs Everest then he would be the youngest person to do it.

So far almost every page has been full of action, adventure, and excitement. Peak's character makes the book very interesting because he is not an ordinary kid. He's done things that normally not a lot of people would think of doing. Also this book has had lots of surprises, for example, his dad said that they are going to climb Everest instead of moving to Thailand . Even though I have read only about half of the book I give a rating of 8/10. I would recommend this book to teenagers who like adventure books and teenagers who are always wondering what the next page is about.
