<p>"Orion The Skateboard Kid" is a marvelous short novel of a young skateboarder and her friends, who are nearly run over and encounter trouble with the law just for practicing their favorite sport in a parking lot. Looking at the Milky Way, Orion realizes that what she and her friends need is a safe place just for skateboarding; together, they resolve to build a skateboard park and bike path in northern Florida. Illustrated with particularly striking color images of constellations that serve as metaphors parallel to Orion's struggle, "Orion The Skateboard Kid" is a heartening story of civic responsibility and the hard work involved in making a cherished dream come true. Enthusiastically recommended for school and community library collections "Orion The Skateboard Kid" is entertaining, engaging reading for 4th and 5th grade level students.</p>
