Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature - Naomi Milliner
Volume five in "Tony Hawk's 900 Revolution" finds teenagers Dylan Crow, Amy Kestrel, Joey Rail, and Omar Grebe on a mission to find fragments of Tony Hawk's legendary, but decimated, skateboard. The teens have several things in common: a passion and talent for skateboarding; each one's last name is a kind of bird; and they have all been recruited by a group known as "the Revolution." The fragments they seek possess secret powers, which is why a rival group, "the Collective," is also searching for them. Unfortunately, unlike the Revolution, the Collective wants to use the fragments for evil! Along the way, the heroes encounter Wren, a singer with a powerful skill of her own, who joins forces with them. The main problem with this high concept book is the amateurish writing. It makes the plot silly, the characters two-dimensional and cartoony, the dialogue very poor, and the characters' emotions laughable: "What if one of my teammates died while I was in charge? Omar wondered, and the thought worried him." Extras include biographies of Wren and Tony Hawk, an author Q&A, and one chapter—inexplicably—in the style of a graphic novel. Recommended only for avid skateboarders satisfied with lots of action and little substance. Reviewer: Naomi Milliner
