What's on top of Danger Peak? That's what thirteen-year-old Robert Kin and his two best friends, wisecracking and loyal Chris and sweet but put-upon Rinnie, want to find out in their small suburban town of the late 1980s. The three teens are members of the motorbike-racing club the Wild Boars, and with the inadvertent help of their eccentric technology teacher, Dr. Howard (who prefers to be called "Doctor," not "Mister," thank you very much), they build Robert a better, faster, and stronger dirt bike -- piece by piece.

What's on top of Danger Peak? That's what thirteen-year-old Robert Kin and his two best friends, wisecracking and loyal Chris and sweet but put-upon Rinnie, want to find out in their small suburban town of the late 1980s. The three teens are members of the motorbike-racing club the Wild Boars, and with the inadvertent help of their eccentric technology teacher, Dr. Howard (who prefers to be called "Doctor," not "Mister," thank you very much), they build Robert a better, faster, and stronger dirt bike -- piece by piece. Haunted by flashbacks of his older brother Danny, who died trying to scale Danger Peak the year before, Robert becomes obsessed with conquering the magical mountain. For the respect of his friends and school, and with the aid of his improved Action Bike, he discovers what lies beyond the peak of the mountain -- and maybe even beyond the bounds of Earth itself. Filled with humor, adventure, and, most importantly, heart, Danger Peak is an inspiring story about what it takes to achieve your dreams -- and what it means to feel alive. Danger Peak, an award-winning novel by Michael Thomas Perone, is sure to entertain both teens and adults with its nostalgic look back into what it was like growing up in the 1980s.
