Review(s):
"Readers familiar with the first book and newcomers alike will enjoy this trek." —Publishers Weekly "Extreme sports meets ruthless killers in a survival-of-the-fittest chase." —School Library Journal "This sequel easily stands by itself, though readers new to Peak's world are likely to be so enthralled by the mountain-climbing action that they will go back to the previous book to tackle Everest with Peak as well." —Horn Book Magazine
