Peak is a 2007 young adult fiction novel by Roland Smith about the physical and emotional challenges that face a fourteen-year-old as he climbs Mount Everest as well as tall buildings in New York City after moving from Wyoming.[1]
Peak won the 2007 National Outdoor Book Award (Children's Category).[2] It received a starred review from Publishers Weekly.[3] Kirkus Reviews wrote, "The narrative offers enough of a bumpy ride to satisfy thrill seekers, while Peak’s softer reflective quality lends depth and some—but not too much—emotional resonance".[4]
