The Edge

Book #120 Read in 2015
The Edge by Roland Smith

This is the sequel to Peak, which was a good read.  In this book, Peak is back and is requested to go on a "climb for Peace".  He agrees and heads to Afghanistan for the climb; his mother, a former climber, accompanies him.  Shortly after their arrival, Peak's mother and fellow climbers are kidnapped and Peak decides to try to follow their trail and rescue them.  Will he succeed?  Or will he be killed? This series is great for middle school and high school readers...especially reluctant and boy readers.  Peak has matured since the first book, which helps make him a believable hero.  I received a copy of this book from Amazon Vine in exchange for a honest review.
