Book Description

January 1, 2010 Take It to the Xtreme (Book 4)

Real danger in the world of make believe.

Fifteen year olds Jake and Peter land dream jobs: roles as skateboarding stuntboys on a movie set.

But sabotage points to a jealous friend -- but who? As if the pressure of performing on a movie set for a demanding director isn't enough, the boys have an uneasy relationship with three local skateboarding "toughs."

Adding to their problems is a BMX bike gang determined to use ramps from which they've been banned. They'll do anything to use the ramps including befriending Jake's sister.

Jake and Peter are coached by the town's new skate park manager -- a former X-Games champ. But his flock of misfit helpers adds to the intrigue.

When police chase down their street skating and someone lands in the hospital, the boys know it's time to get to the bottom of who has it in for them, and why.

Skateboard Stuntboys is an action-packed story that never stops rolling.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 6-9–Fifteen-year-old Jake and his friend Peter have an exciting summer in store when they are chosen as stunt doubles for an extreme-sports film being shot at the new skate park. But when accidents on the set begin to threaten their safety, things aren't so much fun anymore and their suspicions are aroused. The author does a good job of clarifying skateboarding terms for readers unfamiliar with the sport, and the action is nonstop. Jake is a self-conscious teen trying to cope with his father's disappearance three years earlier while watching out for his younger sister. A good choice for reluctant readers and skateboarding fans, the mystery will hold readers' attention until the end.–Michele Capozzella, Chappaqua Public Library, NY

Review

Action is nonstop... good choice for reluctant readers and skateboarding fans, the mystery will hold readers' attention until the end. (Michele Capozzella School Library Journal )
