Big strings. As owner of Peak Expeditions, he wants his son to be the youngest person to reach the Everest summit--and his motives are selfish at best. Even so, for a climbing addict like Peak, tackling Everest is the challenge of a lifetime. But it's also one that could cost him his life. Roland Smith has created an action-packed adventure about friendship, sacrifice, family, and the drive to take on Everest, despite the incredible risk. The story of Peak?s dangerous ascent?told in his own words?is suspenseful, immediate, and impossible to put down.
"Pic est arrêté par la police pour avoir escaladé un gratte-ciel. Josh, son père alpiniste, l'envoie au Tibet et le confie au zopa, pour que celui-ci l'initie à l'escalade de l'Himalaya. Il se lie d'amitié avec un moine tibétain, Sunjo. Josh espère que son fils sera le plus jeune alpiniste à gravir ce sommet et convie la télévision pour couvrir l'événement."
"Alors qu'il grimpe les parois du Woolworth Building à Manhattan, comme plusieurs autres immeubles qu'il a gravi par défi, Pic atteint le sommet en y laissant sa trace d'un peu de chair et d'un tag bleu symbolisant une montagne, marque de sa victorieuse ascension. Mais la satisfaction du jeune Marcello est vite interrompue par la NYPD, dépêchée sur les lieux par hélicoptère afin de lui mettre le grappin dessus. Pour de ne pas croupir dans une prison de jeunes délinquants, puisqu'une campagne médiatique le cible depuis qu'un adolescent est mort en voulant l'imiter sur le Flatiron, la garde de Pic est confiée à son père, un riche homme d'affaires qui dirige des expéditions en haute montagne, mais qu'il n'a plus revu depuis sa petite enfance. Pic est alors catapulté dans un tout autre univers, celui des expéditions d'alpinisme au Tibet, d'une Chine intolérante et rigide, et celui des sherpas des sommets de l'Himalaya, dont il témoigne dans un carnet de voyage qui lui permettra de terminer son année scolaire. Et devant l'ascension du mont Everest, Pic aura à résoudre nombre de dilemmes et surmonter de multiples épreuves, physiques et psychologiques, afin de peut-être devenir le plus jeune alpiniste ayant entrepris pareil voyage..."
