The titles listed below are ones I have received from a number of lm_netters. I
have not checked them out yet.
--We have Ghost brother by Adler and Skateboard Champion by Packard
--Just read an extremely funny novel by Gary Paulson - "How Angel Peterson Got His
Name"
Set post-WWII (1950s), it's about the "extreme sports" adventures of a
group of 13 year-old boys. (This is, of course, before the term "extreme
sports" was coined; also sans safety equipment.) Other sports in the story
include bungee jumping, bicycle jumps/tricks, para-sailing...
My 22-yr-old son read a couple of chapters, he also found it very entertaining.
--The Edge by Ben Bo is snowboarding appropriate for middle school.
--I pulled these off this list a few months ago, and I can't speak to any of these
personally.
Extreme sports "How Angel Paterson Got His Name" by Gary Paulsen is
hilarious and funny.
