Skateboard Scare

Jess and Jaylen want to enter a skateboard contest, but Jess falls and hurts her wrist when she skateboards without the right safety gear. This delightful set of beginning chapter books tells about the adventures of Jess and Jaylen. These two big-city neighbors have been friends since they were born, and now they're in third grade. Illustrated with funny, slightly cartoony art, these lighthearted, humorous stories are full of real-life challenges faced by sporty Jess and brainy Jaylen. Additional features to aid comprehension include a table of contents, a section for discussion about the book's plot and topic, and an introduction to the author and illustrator.
