Product Description

Counterfeit skateboards! Who is trying to put Mike Holt out of business? He's already had one tragedy in his life, will this be more than he can handle? Jim and Ben need to find out who is doing this quickly or their dreams of a skateboard park will be gone forever.

This is the story of five close friends who all share one common love - skateboarding. They live in the small city of Exton, Pennsylvania that is not known as a skateboarding haven. They have dreams of changing that by helping to open a new skate park in their city. Their plans are taking shape when disasters strikes. Mike's shop is in danger of being put out of business by a mysterious stranger and that would lead to the end of the 2nd Annual Boardzone Skateboard competition and their skate park dreams.

Like most kids they can't resist getting involved and jump right in to try and figureout what is going on - and of course, get into a load of trouble in the process. With the help of their Uncle, a retired policeman, the group of young people get into one precarious situation after another while searching for the identity of the counterfeiter. Each day leads our young group one step closer to facing their biggest challenge ever.

Will they solve the mysterious counterfeit skateboarding ring? Will Mike lose his store and cancel the big competition? Will corrupt city officials steal the land for the new skate park?

No one is going to take away their dream of the first skate park in their hometown. Even if they have to face their enemy head on - they will.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great skateboarding story, March 12, 2004
By Carl Franklin (Hayward, CA) - See all my reviews
I picked up this book after I heard about it on the radio. It's a great story that boys and girls would love. They have to have an interest in skateboarding. I bought it for my son (13 yrs) and he couldn't put it down. He loved the action and all the skateboarding talk. Even my daughter (11 yrs) liked it.

If you're looking for a great story that the kids will love, this is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Trouble with Skateboarding, July 24, 2008
my son - age 14- hates to read but loves to skateboard and he actually read this book in less than a week with no prompting from me. The fact that it was set in the geographic area where we live also helped make it interesting. He said he liked it (high praise from him for a book!)
