Bookroo's summary

Freddie Ruiz is tired of living in his brother Dondi's shadow. In every competition, Dondi emerges victorious, except on the snowboarding halfpipe, where Freddie reigns supreme. When Dondi pushes him too far, Freddie devises a daring plan to outshine his brother in a high-stakes snowboard showdown. But as the tension mounts, will Dondi fall for Freddie's trap, or will he once again outsmart his younger brother? The slopes are set for a thrilling battle where pride and skill collide, and the outcome is anything but certain.

From the publisher

Snowboard Showdown Out-of-control competition leads to disaster When Freddie Ruiz and his brother, Dondi, compete, it’s like two mutts wrestling over the same bone-neither one is willing to give an inch. Unfortunately for Freddie, older, stronger, better-looking Dondi usually comes out on top in every contest. Except in one area: snowboarding. Here, Freddie is clearly king of the halfpipe. So when Dondi finally pushes Freddie too far, Freddie cooks up a snowboard showdown to make Dondi look foolish and himself the star. But will Dondi take the bait, or will he somehow turn the tables on his brother yet again?
