Peak Book Review

I just read the book Peak by Roland Smith. I give it a 3 star rating because the story developed a bit slowly and I wasn't satisfied with the ending. I would recommend this book to read as a school class. It is about Peak Marcello, a 14 year old boy got in big trouble for climbing a skyscraper in NYC. He lives with his family, Rolf, Mom, Pea-Pea (Sisters). So his decisions were juvie OR to go to Mongolia. He and his "dad" Josh chooses Mongolia. He doesn't know what he will do at Mongolia. This book is a thrilling book with many twists and turns. You don't know what will happen next. You will likely enjoy this.
