Summary: Great read

My[..] son read this book for a 2nd grade biographical book report. He thought the book was interesting, fun and funny. He didn't want to put the book down. There aren't too many books that capture his interest, but this one certainly did.

Summary: Skating book with Tony Hawk

Matt Christopher is on the Halfpipe WIIIIITH......no idea what a half pipe is. Matt's a writer, not a skater and it shows. You'd be more satisfied with documentaries or interviews on Tony Hawk if that's what you're interested in. Save your money!

Summary: Not worth it

Why would you want to read this book when Tony Hawk wrote his own? That has all the information on him you need to know--plus more that wasn't covered in this book. Tony Hawk rocks and I would rather read what he writes.

Summary: Good for Young Kids

Like all Matt Christopher books, this is a good basic introduction to skating and skateboarder Tony Hawk, with an emphasis on Hawk as a role model. Young skaters will learn a lot about the sport without the baggage that comes from other sources
