About this ebook

In this thrilling climbing adventure from bestselling author Roland Smith, summiting one of the most isolated mountains in the world may be the easiest thing Peak does.

After conquering the mountains in Afghanistan, Peak Marcello goes to Myanmar, a country that has been in the grips of a brutal military regime for more than fifty years, to visit Alessia.

When he’s invited to climb the remote Hkakabo Razi, Peak can’t pass up the opportunity. But getting to the mountain will involve a four-week trek through tropical rainforests rife with hazards—from venomous reptiles and leeches to corrupt police and military.

This thrilling teen climbing adventure is "the perfect antidote for kids who think books are boring" (Publishers Weekly starred review for Peak).

Roland Smith's Peak Marcello's Adventures are:

• Peak
• The Edge
• Ascent
• Descent

Ratings and reviews

The starting 2 books were very good in suspense and entertainment if you have the chance to read the book you will get glued to it. Not just one but both of them. Peak had a lot of twists in them and The Edge was just awesome with the suspense and waiting about what will happen next. Reading those books I am waiting for the Ascent.

Loved the first book , 2nd was dramatic, and filled with tension in the later parts of it , but they didn't leave room for error which made it seem fake , and every move was unexpected , that can make a story boring . I hope Roland Smith makes this one better than the last one .
