Fakie

by Tony Varrato

Overview

Alex Miller can't forget the things he has seen, and neither can the man he helped put in jail. No matter how often the Witness Relocation Program changes their identities, Alex and his mother must keep running to stay one step ahead of their enemies. His latest identity as a skateboarder in Virginia Beach is no easy ride-nosegrabs, ollies, and kickflips are all new to him. Alex has to catch on quickly to blend in-but the biggest trick he'll have to master is staying alive. "Urgent pacing and suspenseful plot...sure to be a hit."--Booklist.

"An excellent novel for male teen readers. It is short, action packed, and full of activities that they can relate to. It would also make a good read-aloud for the classroom, because of the suspense and drama involved."
