Bookroo's summary

Amir's passion for climbing finds an outlet when a police officer takes him to a climbing wall outside the city. There, he meets William, a fellow enthusiast. But William's reckless approach to climbing soon puts him in peril. Can Amir help his friend before it's too late? This thrilling tale explores the balance between adventure and safety, testing the limits of friendship and courage.

From the publisher

The only fun thing to do in Amir’s neighborhood is climb buildings. Of course, no one will let him do that. When a police officer offers to bring Amir to a climbing wall outside of the city, Amir is thrilled. He meets William, who also loves climbing. But William doesn’t want to learn the right way to climb, and before long, he is in serious danger.
