Peak is a 2007 young adult fiction novel by Roland Smith about the physical and emotional challenges that a fourteen-year-old faces as he climbs Mount Everest, as well as tall buildings in New York City after moving from Wyoming.
Peak won the 2007 National Outdoor Book Award (Children's Category). It received a starred review from Publishers Weekly. Kirkus Reviews wrote, "The narrative offers enough of a bumpy ride to satisfy thrill seekers, while PeakâÂÂs softer reflective quality lends depth and someâÂÂbut not too muchâÂÂemotional resonance".
