Bookroo's summary

Tanner Ryan despises his new town until he discovers the Curves, a skater's paradise. But his joy is short-lived when he clashes with Bennett Parsons III, the local bully, and faces disapproval from the townsfolk. As Tanner navigates these challenges, he must decide if he can forge friendships and keep skating, or if he's destined for a life without his passion. Will Tanner find a way to bring a skate park to Woodville and reclaim his happiness?

From the publisher

Tanner Ryan hates everything about his new town. All of his friends are back in his old city, and the only thing he likes in Woodville is his family’s pool. That is until he discovers the Curves, the most amazing place ever to skateboard. Unfortunately, on the same day he finds the Curves, he meets Bennett Parsons III, the resident bully. And the locals aren’t happy that Tanner’s been skateboarding all over town. Can Tanner make friends and still have fun doing what he likes to do? Or has he been doomed to a life without skateboarding?
