Drop in to the Deep End: Skateboarding with the Z-Boys — Xavier W. Niz

In the late 1970s, Skip Jenson just moved from California to a small town in Ohio. Although he doesn't fit in at first, the fifteen-year-old soon finds other students at Wilbur Wright Middle School who share his passion ― skateboarding. Although Skip is psyched to ride with a new crowd, he isn't ready to adopt their rebellious ways. Now this California kid must show his new friends the new way to ride.
