After reading Friday Night Lights over the summer for my September book, I wasn't pleased to hear that we have to read a book a month. I felt this way because I wasn't to happy reading that book. It didn't really appeal to me at any point in the book. Just really boring and I've really didn't like reading. That's until Ms.Basko introduced me in to Peak. My interest in reading changed in every way. I really liked that book a lot because for really the first time I enjoyed a book for once. It was about a boy named peak. He would climb things, like buildings and huge walls I mean. He starts out with climbing a building in New York city. And no this wasn't the first time. He's been climbing up buildings and tagging a flag at the top of each building he climbed. Although these stunts wasn't so legal. So his actions finally caught up to him as he got caught climbing to the top of another building. He would finally go to court and get sent off out of the states to live with his dad. Once in Nepal, Peak would meet his toughest challenge yet, climbing to the top of Mount Everest!
When I heard that part I knew this book would Be exciting from beginning to end. And it was, as I said before it changed my thoughts of reading. The next couple book I've been reading is called Project 17 and it really is a great book that caught my attention really fast. Maybe even more than Peak!
So thanks Ms.Basko for really bringing my eye to reading and how it can actually be fun.
