Ascent

By: Roland Smith

Narrated by: Pat Young

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).

Best book I have read 5/5 stars

I loved how it “hooks” you on to the book right when you open it. Revealing many new ways to look at peak and leaves you on many cliff hangers. I have never wanted to read/ listen to the next book more
