Who would like this book? Of course, people who like skateboarding and surfing might very well like this book, but it would also be good for anyone looking for an adventure-mystery with a main character trying to find where he belongs.
The goods on this book: Omar Grebes is just turning 15, and he is still deeply affected by his dad’s disappearance two years before. His dad, an amazing surfer, had gone out to catch some big waves one day and never returned. That mystery is not the only one that encompasses Omar’s world, but he is doing his best having a good time surfing, boarding, and hanging out with his friend, Tommy. When Omar almost gets killed attempting a stunt that Tommy has set him up to do, Omar has to begin thinking twice about Tommy. The stunt does, though, wash Omar right up to Neelu, the surfer girl he’s had his eye on. It turns out that there is more to her than meets the eye, and soon Omar is involved with a mission that is dangerous and powerful. Drop In is the first book in a series based on the premise that Tony Hawk’s skateboard has been shattered, and that when the pieces are reassembled, the board will have a lot of power. The members of the 900 Revolution need to find the pieces before they are found by others who would misuse the power.
