Description

The only thing you’ll find at the summit of Mount Everest is a divine view. The things that in reality matter lie a ways below. –Peak Marcello

After fourteen-year-old Peak Marcello is arrested for scaling a New York City skyscraper, he’s left with a choice: wither away in juvenile detention or fly to Kathmandu along with his long-lost father. Peak quickly learns that his father’s renewed interest in him has strings attached. As owner of Peak Expeditions, he wants his son to be the youngest person to achieve the Everest summit. The tale of Peak’s dangerous ascent—told in his own words—is suspenseful, immediate, and inconceivable to position down.
