In my reading group we are reading Peak by Roland Smith. It is about a boy named peak who lives in New York City with his mom stepfather and sisters who are twins, His father is a rock climber who lives in Thailand. Peak is arrested for climbing skyscrapers and is forced to move to Thailand with his father. His father secretly took him to climb mt.Everest. Peak meets a boy named Sun-Jo and they become friends, he also meets a monk named Zopa who is his fathers friend who has climbed mt.Everest more than any man. Now Peak is on his way and continualsy climbing to the summit. I like how it is told with real fealing and knowledge as if it realy happened. My group is working pretty well everybody does their job and reads, But some people talk and interupt during the sharing.
