I liked this book because it is about skateboarding and I enjoy skateboarding because it is my favorite sport. Brett Thyson is a 13-year-old boy who just moved to South Carolina. Brett loves to skateboard. His family wanted to repave the drive way, so the construction workers came and did it. They also found a skateboard,then they gave it to Brett. The skateboard was called The Lizard. It used to belong Lance Hawkins. who died a couple years ago. Brett had preformed moves that he has never done before. The worker that dug up the skateboard broke his ankle. The workers and his family think that the skateboard is possessed. Do you think that the board is possessed? I would recommend this book to people who like to skateboard. This is also an action book because there are some intense skateboarding portions of this book.

I thought this book was a great book, I would read it again any day, because It's about one of my favorite sports that I do almost everyday, skateboarding. Brett Thyson is a skateboarder who lives in Springton, and rides a skateboard called the Cobra. One day while moving into their new house in Springton, Brett and his family found a skateboard buried in the backyard. The skateboard was called the Lizard, and it was better than the Cobra. Brett's friends thought the Lizard seemed to have some type of ability to make you skate better, but Brett didn't think that. W.E, Brett's friend thinks it belonged to a guy named Lance Hawker, who was a great skater until he got hit by a car and died. Ever since then, the people of Springton haven't been big fans of skateboarding. Brett was tired of having no where to skate, so he wrote a letter to the news paper to see if anyone cared about skateboarding and would build a skate park. A few days after he wrote the paper it got published. Mrs. Witherspoon who lives down the street from Brett, saw his letter and built a big skate park in her backyard for Brett and his friends. She and Brett became great friends after that and he loved her just like she was his own grandma. I would recommend this book to people who like to skateboard or who like skateboarding, because if you don't know much about skateboarding you might not be able to understand some parts in the book. But you will have to read the book to find out what happens between Brett and the story behind the Lizard.

I liked the tricks he did with the skateboard because it's fun to listen to how he does them. I also like his fiend because he's suspicious about the skateboard. I don't like the idea of a kid dyeing on the skateboard because it makes you think about if you want to ride one. I don't like that he gets rid of it at the end because I like that skateboard.

Skateboard Tough is a great, suspenseful, exciting book. It is a great book for beginning skateboarders too. It is very exciting and it will keep your attention on every page. I think it was Matt Christopher's best sports books yet. This book led me to read several other Matt Christopher books.
