For Extreme Sports–Crazy Boys Only

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Headcase Design. This high-interest volume includes extreme-sports history, advice on dangers (e.g., an illustrated "Learn to Fall" guide), examples of real athletes' "Excellent Nicknames," cursory introductions to popular and lesser-known sports, brief athlete bios, and lots more. With flashy design elements (in a limited palette of black, white, and neon orange), the book sure looks stylish, but it's ultimately too densely packed and scattershot.
