Gr. 6-12. With the help of writer Digeronimo, skateboarder MacDonald offers a highly readable, personal biography that follows him from his first sports encounters, at age three, to his recent professional successes. Throughout, MacDonald emphasizes his struggles and "lessons learned," such as using nonviolent tactics to deal with bullies. He details impoverished years in his late teens and twenties before he finally made it as a pro. MacDonald's unwavering determination, as well as his nonpreachy avoidance of drugs and booze ("I might miss a day of skating"), makes him an excellent subject for a YA biography. Plenty of affectionate anecdotes about MacDonald's parents, brother, and wife will satisfy fans, and teen skaters will love his descriptions of what skating actually feels like. Lots of black-and-white and color photos round out this appealing title that is sure to get heavy circulation from strong and reluctant readers alike. Gillian Engberg
