Fiction.

Whoever invented skateboarding is a genius. There's only one skater, and his name's Tony Hawk. It doesn't matter if you don't know who he is, just trust me. Not only is Hawk the world's best skater, he's also good to talk to. So I talk to Tony Hawk, and Tony Hawk talks back. Because just when it seemed like everything had come together for me, I had to go and screw it all up. It only took two seconds. But all of me knew. One risk. One mistake and my life would never be the same. Hawk had a few things to say. And a few things to show me. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see your own future? Nick Hornby, bestselling author of "High Fidelity" and "About a Boy," delivers his first novel for young adults--a wonderfully witty, poignant story about a teenage boy unwittingly thrust into fatherhood. First published 2007.
