Peak Marcello loves to climb! In fact, he’s made a game of it, tagging each achievement with a mountain peak drawn in blue. However, when his latest adventure up the side of a New York City skyscraper lands him in front of a juvenile court judge, he’s forced to make a choice between the vacation of a lifetime with a father he doesn’t know or time in jail; and he jumps at the chance for a new adventure. Suddenly, he finds himself set to become the youngest person ever to reach the summit of Mount Everest, and he must make some of the most adult decisions of his life. In the process, as Peak interacts with his new teammates, he learns what real love means, and what is most important to him. -Golden Sower Manual Learn about author Roland Smith.
