Peak

I've just finished a book called Peak. It's about a young boy (14 years old) who's parents are both extreme mountain climbers. At the start, it was just a typical book of a young troubled boy who just happens to climb skyscrapers. Although this was very unusual (and unbelievable), it made me want to read through to the end. Long story short, he gets caught as he's climbing over the top of it, his 6th skyscraper. He gets arrested, threatened to 3 years in a juvenile delinquent centre, but his parents post bail. To send him away from all the drama around himself-even causing a boy to try climbing and falling to his death. Instead, the parents send Peak (the 14 year old) with Joshua Wood, his biological father and an amazing climber. Because of the bail money that Joshua offered to pay, he is deeply in debt. He had started a climbing expedition on Mount Everest, and hoped to get Peak to be the youngest to summit the mountain. Along the way, there are small betrayals, lies, delusions and some angry climbers thrown in too. It's a really interesting book, and has made me start a bucket list with "Try to summit Everest" at the top.
