Written by Xavier W. Niz, Illustrated by Jesus Aburto Skateboard enthusiasts will probably enjoy this book; those who aren’t may not understand some of the vocabulary used or appreciate the description of the skateboarding moves. Besides being about skateboarding, this story deals with friendship and loyalty. The use of graphic novel format and traditional text is a good way to introduce students to the graphic novel genre.
