4-6Tony Hawk's 900 Revolution series.
Illustrated by
Caio Majado.
Fifteen-year-old Omar Grebes dreams of becoming a professional skateboarder. "The Revolution" has other plans, selecting Omar to protect the magical fragments of Tony Hawk's shattered skateboard. The extreme-sport subject and dude-filled dialogue may attract a reluctant-reader audience. A short graphic-novel-format insert mid-book breaks up the text but adds little to the story.
