From Booklist
Fifteen-year-old Nate loves to skateboard and shoot “vids” of his friends as they skate through the streets of Chicago’s South Side. One night while out with his crew, a fire destroys his apartment, and Nate and his mother are forced to move to the suburbs. Surprisingly, it’s there that Nate’s talents behind the camera are noticed and an amazing offer comes his way. The Tony Hawk: Live2Skate series, geared toward reluctant or struggling readers, features a plot-driven narrative and diverse teenage characters facing serious life challenges. The story’s emphasis on values, such as respect for authority and the importance of family and friends, gives it a slight after-school-special feel. That said, this shorthand does allow the focus to remain on the action, which is appropriate for any age. The slang used to make characters sound hip comes off as forced at times, but the graphic novel–style illustrations help lend it the cool vibe it’s shooting for. Grades 3-5. --Julia Smith
