(2) YA Fifteen-year-old Peak (Peak) agrees to participate in a Peace Climb--climbers assigned to mountains around the world for a television special. But once he arrives in war-torn Afghanistan to tackle the Pamirs, most of the party is kidnapped. An exciting tale ensues as Peak tracks down the kidnappers. Present-tense journal entries interspersed with the past-tense main narrative create an interesting dual story line.
