In Revive, thirteen-year-old Jason Hart helps create a skatepark at the site of an abandoned amusement park. Solo focuses on fourteen-year-old Dax Ramirex, who lives in a homeless shelter with his dad and finds a community with other skaters. The books don't offer much depth, but their compact size, comics-style illustrations, and short action-packed chapters may hook reluctant readers.

In Above, fifteen-year-old skateboarder and budding filmmaker Nate loses his skating footage in a fire. At Large follows thirteen-year-old Ryan when he travels to South America as one of the youngest members of an elite skate team. These leveled texts don't offer much depth, but the fast-paced action, skate jargon ("grinding rails," "carving quarterpipes"), and hip cartoon illustrations will please skateboard fans. Glos. Review covers these Tony HawkLive2Skate titles: At Large and Above.
