Even so, for a climbing addict like Peak, tackling Everest is the challenge of a lifetime. It's also one that could cost him his life.This thrilling teen climbing adventure is "the perfect antidote for kids who think books are boring" (Publishers Weekly starred review).Roland Smith's Peak Marcello's Adventures are:- Peak- The Edge- Ascent- Descent*Booklist, starred review

Für mich nichts!

Mir hat es leider nicht gefallen, da ich sowas eigentlich nicht lese.

Bildgewaltig

Ein tolles Buch! Sprachlich zwar nicht besonders anspruchsvoll, dafür aber wirklich mitreißend! Man konnte den Aufstieg der Protagonisten auf den Gipfel geradezu vor sich sehen. Die Message am Ende des Buches fand ich zudem sehr bewegend! Das Buch lässt sich schnell und flüssig lesen und ist deshalb eine schöne Lektüre für zwischendurch.
