(4) YA Harmon revisits the streets of Spokane, Washington (where Skate was set), and relates sixteen-year-old top-notch skateboarder Tate's story of trying to save his school-dropout younger brother, Indy, also a skater, from a life of drugs and homelessness after a falling-out with their father. This gritty story--rife with violence, swearing, and drug use--will be compelling to many teens despite its too-tidy resolution.
