Description:... Ideal for reluctant readers and ESL students, this short novel has action, intrigue, and relatable teen characters.
At first glance, Alex Miller seems like a typical kid, typical hair, typical clothes, typical hobbies. But Alex's life is anything but typical... and fitting in has become a matter of life and death. The unfortunate witness to a crime, Alex can't forget the things he has seen, and neither can the man he helped put in jail. The Witness Relocation Program has changed the identities of Alex and his mother repeatedly, but they still need to keep running to stay one step ahead of his enemies. His latest identity as a skateboarder in Virginia Beach is no easy ride. Nosegrabs, ollies, and kickflips are all new to him. Alex has to catch on quickly to blend in, but the biggest trick he'll have to master is staying alive.
