I dearly love this book for three reasons. #1, I know this young man -- a friend of my youngest son James Craig. #2 it is about skateboarding and those who people that community, and while I know some of the catchphrases, I don't understand half of it. #3, Evan weaves some magnificent magic with his words and how he phrases it, to paint a picture of a foreign world into some profound moments. I admit, at the age of 60, I cried and laughed in delight with that final chapter. Wonderful little book that I have reread several times!
