Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In this young adult autobiography, Tony Hawk shares the stories from his life that have helped him become a skateboarding hero. Hawk speaks of being a super-competitive "demon" child who found peace while on a skateboard. Classmates teased him because of his interest in an "uncool" sport.
