Peak | Roland Smith

so-so

My 7th graders are reading this novel as part of a narrative unit. It‘s definitely not my favorite, but it could be worse. I don‘t usually like adventure/survival novels, so this was very average. Some kids love it, others can‘t wait to be done (and I‘m with them 😂).

KathyWheeler Two of my favorites when I was a kid were My Side of the Mountain and Island of the Blue Dolphins. I probably would have enjoyed this one too. 😊 3y

cewilf @KathyWheeler I also loved Island of the Blue Dolphins! I think I liked those novels more when I was younger, but that‘s one I‘ve wanted to reread for a while. 3y

KathyWheeler @cewilf I bought it recently to reread but I haven‘t done so yet. 3y

Peak was a good book about an expert climber, attempting to be the youngest person to climb Mount Everest, which is a big change compared to skyscrapers. however, the book is more about the father-son relationship between the main character and his biological father, and had a somewhat bittersweet ending.

Cortg I adored this book! There are 2 more in the series but I haven‘t read them. Another middle grades book that is similar but is a memoir is No Summit Out of Sight, pretty much amazing! 6y

CoffeeNBooks @Cortg I haven't read any of the others in this series, either. I'll have to check out No Summit Out of Sight. Thanks! 6y

HELLO! At the moment I am trying to cram in as much books as possible because the end of the year is nearing, and I don't want to have the books I planned to finish still in my TBR list.

Right now I am reading Peak by Roland Smith which is a very good book if you haven't read if. I myself am in the middle of the book, and it is very humorous, and I can find myself laughing at times.

Be sure to check out the book, you surely won't regret it!
