"When Bryce's mom walks out on her abusive boyfriend and back into jail for breaking her probation, he's left facing the summer of his junior year with no parents, no phone, and only the clothes on his back. With nowhere to call home, Bryce crashes at his grandparents' house on Wolf Creek reservation. Wolf Creek is full of memories and old friends--including Robbie and Mikayla, who hang out at the local skate park. Skateboarding reminds Bryce of his late dad: carefree, riding like he could fly. If Bryce could learn to ride like that, he'd take his crew to the top of the skateboarding championship at the end of the summer, and finally prove he's not a loser, especially to the online-famous, captivating Mikayla. Summer is looking up, even as hes falling on his face. But when a fresh loss takes Bryce down, he'll need to learn to lean on his Ojibwe community to get back on the board. Only then can he discover his father s real legacy--and the true meaning of unconditional love."--Provided by publisher.
