Ashton's review for Peak


Name of Reviewer: Ashton
Title of Book: Peak
Author of Book: Roland Smith
# of pages: 248
# AR points: 9                                      RL: 5
Book is found in Miss Q’s Library.
If you like climbing, action and a juicy book to read, then you have got to read Peak! It is about a boy climbing Mt. Everest and, If I were the author, I would change where he sees the corpses when he was at Camp 5 at the end of  the book because it’s gross and I don’t like blood because it makes me gag. If I was the main character in the book, I would have solved the problem of when Peak gets  arrested by not climbing the skyscraper at the wrong time and waiting until summer when there is less bad weather. If I had to pick one juicy word for the book, it would be extraordinary because it describes all the action in the book like Josh telling Peak he has to leave Mt. Everest and Peak seeing his family at the end. Peak is my favorite book and cherish the moments reading it that so you never forget it.

Liam's review on Peak

If you want to read a fabulous and exciting book filled with detail, adventure, and of course mountaineering, Peak is the book for you. The book is about a boy who has to climb Mt. Everest before he turns 13 years old so his dad’s company does well. I liked the book because I love a book filled with detail and adventure just like Peak. I also love how the book had a twist and how the book made you feel like you were on Mt. Everest. Even though the book was excellent, if I was the author, I would have had Peak’s dad help him escape from The Juvenile Detention Center and have the police look for them as they climbed Everest. If I was Peak, I would have solved the problem by climbing the mountain by myself with the characters that didn’t want me to leave the mountain. One good word for Peak is detailed because the book describes everything in amazing detail. READ Peak and you will feel like you are climbing MT. EVEREST!

            Peak is a wonderful book for anyone who likes adventure. My friend is reviewing the same book, so don’t forget to check out his blog. The book is named after Peak, the main character. Peak is climbing Mt Everest because he had two choices, he goes to juvenile detention or live with his long lost father. I liked the book because it has adventure. If I were the author, I would not change anything about the book. If I were Peak, I would have probably not made the summit because I am not a very good climber. The one juicy word is danger because there are snow storms and you can freeze to death. So, read Peak because you will feel like you are in the book climbing with them.
