Bookroo's summary

EllRay Jakes faces a challenge when his friend Kevin starts hanging out with the class bully. Determined to win Kevin back, EllRay seeks help from his neighbor to learn impressive skateboard tricks. With a secret third-grade skate-off looming, EllRay must master ollies and kickflips to prove himself. Will his new skills be enough to reclaim his friendship, or will he lose Kevin to the meanest kid in class? The clock is ticking, and the stakes are high in this tale of friendship and determination.

From the publisher

EllRay Jakes may be the shortest kid in his class, and he may get into trouble from time to time, but he can always count on his best friends Kevin and Corey. But lately, Kevin has been skateboarding with the meanest boy in class. Could EllRay be losing one of his friends? Not giving up without a fight, EllRay asks his older neighbor to show him a few jaw-dropping skateboard moves–like ollies and kickflips. EllRay must learn as many tricks as he can before the secret boys-only third grade skate-off. But will it be enough?
