Peak won the 2007 National Outdoor Book Award (Children's Category).[2] It received a starred review from Publishers Weekly.[3] Kirkus Reviews wrote, "The narrative offers enough of a bumpy ride to satisfy thrill seekers, while Peak’s softer reflective quality lends depth and some—but not too much—emotional resonance".[4]
