This book was a really good book, the part when he dug the board up was pure genius. When his mom said he could not keep it was frustrating but he did not give it up

this book is great . it great because it is very very very entertaning. the kids who also skateboard will love it so much they would never ever ever want to stop reading it & when they finish it they might even marry it & read it again. they might even also tell this story to everybody they know & or when they grow up & have kids they will probably read it to their kids.

This book is a lot of fun.It’s fun because it’s about skateboarding, and I love skateboarding.It was about a kid named Brett who dug up a skateboard called The Lizard.There was a kid named Kyle Robinson who was the best skateboarder in town,but before that it was Lance(the Crackerjack)Hawker.Lance Hawker died while skateboarding in the street.So they say that The Lizard is haunted because he did tricks that he couldn’t do on his old skateboard,Cobra.I’m not going to tell you anymore about this book because I want you to find this book interesting.So all I’m saying is that this book is a lot of fun.

Skateboard Tough is a book about a boy who had just moved to a new place. He made new friends and lived his life normal, until one day he discovers something buried in his back yard that changes his life forever. The events that happen next, I will not reveal. You have to get the book and read it yourself.
It is a really awesome book. When I first saw the book and picked it up, I was really anxious about reading it. I had a fun time reading the book. Anyone who reads this book will be amazed at how good it is.
I would definately recommend this book to anyone who is a skateboarder or even not a skateboarder. Anyone who likes nice, calm, soothing books, this is definately not the one. It is jam packed with surprises. Therefore, I would definately recommend this book to anyone and everyone who enjoys reading.

Matt Christopher wrote the book Skateboard Tough in 1994. This book is about a boy named Brett that wanted a new skateboard because his old board was scratched up. His mom decided to have a garage installed and during construction Brett finds a buried chest in his front yard. Inside the chest it contained a blue and white striped skateboard with the word lizard painted on the base. Brett discovers that the skateboard gives him good luck, helps him to do tricks that he could not do before, but it causes everyone else to have bad luck. For example, his sister’s best friend Sharon, when she tried to ride the lizard, she fell off the board, almost got ran over by a car, and received several injuries. Everyone tells Brett that the skateboard is cursed and he does not believe them. In my opinion, I think it was a bad decision for Brett to continue riding the skateboard because everyone was getting hurt physically each time when Brett used the board. Since Brett ignored the warnings of his friends; they decided to ignore him. Brett was left feeling lonely and depressed, which lead him to bury the skateboard back in the front yard. Afterwards, Brett started using his old skateboard again, told his friends that he buried the lizard and apologized to his friends for ignoring their warnings about the board being cursed. In the end Brett learns that he cannot always get what he wants. I would not recommend this book because the story line did not keep my attention. Maybe if the author, Matt Christopher, added in more action and adventure this book could have been more exciting. Otherwise, skateboarders would really enjoy this book because it included many descriptions of the tricks.
