Peak by Roland Smith (Grades 6-8)
Peak “Spider Boy” Marcello's passion for climbing gets him into a little trouble and a fascinating adventure filled with intrigue, drama and conflict. Using an article in the St. Petersburg Times as a model, come up with eight questions you would ask Peak about his adventure to write a feature article for the newspaper. Be sure to make the questions meaningful and open-ended. In other words, do not ask questions that would provide a yes or no answer. Share your questions by clicking on the blogging link.

I really enjoyed this book it was good and bad at the same time.It was a well written story but the bad part was when he went back down the mountian. I understand that he did it for unselfish reasons but I at least would have been the second person so Sun-Jo would still get the credit for being the youngest.

Roland Smith writes amazing stories! Peak was so descriptive that I actually felt like I was freezing up on Mount Everest along with Peak and the lack of oxygen.

i thought it was a pretty good book but like vincent harris y would a dad just come out of nowhere and make his son climb the highest peak that really makes sense
