This is a little paperback by Marilyn Cosgrove, who has written a series of these sports related books, i.e. The BMX Kid, The Surfing Kid, etc.
This is an Australian publication from 1990 and not a bad read for a teen, plus it has some good black and white photos by John Veage to go with the story.
Condition Apart from some pen and white-out on inside front cover it's in near mint condition!
Comment Also contains a glossary of '80s skateboarding terms at the back.
