A raucous, riotous, devilish, urgent tale of a thirteen-year-old grommet (a young person still learning how to ride a skateboard). Alex is disarmingly witty, naughty and sweet natured (the type who kisses his mother meaningfully on the cheek before bedtime and enjoys gossiping with his mates down at the Skate Park). This is a fast paced school adventure story perfectly capturing the essence of puberty and first love.
