Smith, Roland. Peak. NY: Harcourt Inc., 2006. 246 pages. (Survival Fiction)The main characters in this book are Peak (14), the son of Josh, and Sun-jo(15) a Tibetan citizen. Zopa ,Sun-jo’s grandfather, and Josh the father of Peak. In the beginning of the story, it take place in New York City on the side of a building. It is in the city because that is where he lived. Later in the story during the main part of the story takes place on Mount Everest on the north side. Peak gets arrested for climbing a building in New York City so he has to live with his father in Tibet. His dad wants him to make it to the summit so his climbing expedition will become more famous. While this is happening the Chinese General is trying to catch Sun-jo and imprison him.
This book is energetic and it is very interesting Not one character is like me but there is one that I really do not like his name Chein Li he is a Chinese general who is trying to take sun-jo off the mountain. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend because it could really happen in life.
