(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Brian Biggs. In his fifth outing, when EllRay's best friend Kevin skateboards with class bully Jared, EllRay resolves to learn how to skate; meanwhile, he works on a school project on fairy tales and realizes that heroes--both literary and real-life--aren't always what they seem. EllRay's voice is a tad too sophisticated but nevertheless likable. Biggs's illustrations capture his ups and downs.
