Skate Freak

By Lesley Choyce

Dorf has always lived by his personal motto: If it’s worth doing, do it. If it’s not worth doing, do it anyway. But now he’s in a new city, and the terrain has changed. He’s no longer free to skateboard where he wishes, school is hard, and he has the reputation as a freak. With daring stunts he gains the grudging respect of local troublemakers, but he needs to tap into the more elusive kind of courage to effect real change in his life.
