An Excerpt from SKATE FEARLESS
“I bet she can’t do it.”
“I bet she’s too scared.”
PJ Lundgren fiddled with the chin strap on her helmet, stared down at her brand-new skateboard, and tried not to listen to the boys.
They were all in the same grade—seventh—at Anthony Middle School, but PJ really knew only one of them: Marco Aguilar.
Marco and PJ lived on the same block, and they’d been best friends forever. The other two boys, Ethan Byrne and Ty Jones, had gone to different grade schools.
PJ wished they went to a different middle school, too.
“She’s not scared. She’s actually pretty good.” When Marco spoke to the two other boys, PJ almost thanked him. Then Marco rolled his eyes and added, “For a girl.”
Pretty good. For a girl.
She snorted.
