Compelling and original\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perone weaves a compelling tale of one young boy\u2019s coming of age journey in his engrossing debut. The magical mountain of Danger Peak is special but holds a particular attraction for thirteen-year-old Robert Kin and his two best friends Chris and Rinnie because no one has made it to the top yet. But scaling the mountain is not easy, especially because Robert\u2019s brother Danny lost his life a year before while trying to climb the mountain and his parents have no intention to let him meet the same fate. Perone beautifully develops Robert\u2019s emotional arc who wants to attain his goal of conquering the mountain but feels frustrated in the face of his father\u2019s impossibly difficult attitude. He deftly portrays the young boy\u2019s fears and insecurities, his longing for Danny, and his burning need for acceptance and understanding. Crisp and straightforward, the prose is smooth and the pacing measured. A dash of magical realism adds to the intrigue, and themes of teenage angst, friendship, bullying, grief, understanding, acceptance, and sibling bonds are beautifully woven into the narrative. A gripping, raw read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
