Could he be the youngest to climb Mt. Everest?

Here's another one that's hard to put down - Peak by Roland Smith. Peak Marcello is 14 and loves to climb, but when he gets caught scaling a skyscraper, he's really in trouble. The judge is more than happy when Josh, Peak's estranged dad and a famous mountain climber himself, offers to take Peak back to Asia with him. Soon Peak learns that Josh's intentions weren't very father-like: his expedition company is hurting financially, but if Josh can put Peak on the top of Mt. Everest - he'd be the youngest climber ever - Josh's company could make a ton of money. Peak's not thrilled about being used that way, but for a once-in-a-lifetime chance like Mt. Everest, he goes along with the idea. The realities of the mountain and base camp, the life of the Sherpas who help, the harshness of the weather, and the dangers that are truly life-threatening make this a fantastic, page-turning survival story. Will Peak make it to the top?
