Description
Fourteen-year-old Peak Marcello's obsession with climbing skyscrapers lands him in serious trouble, forcing him to choose between juvenile detention and a life with the father he barely knows. This unexpected reunion leads to a perilous proposition: become the youngest person ever to summit Mount Everest. As Peak embarks on this life-threatening ascent, he must navigate not only the treacherous mountain but also the complex relationship with his father and the true meaning of reaching the top. Roland Smith delivers a gripping adventure that explores themes of family, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of a dream against impossible odds.
