Real danger in the world of make believe. Fifteen years old Jake and Peter land dream jobs: roles as skateboarding stunt boys on a movie set, but sabotage points to a jealous friend, but who? As if the pressure of performing on a movie set for a demanding director isn't enough, the boys have an uneasy relationship with three local skateboarding toughs. Adding to their problems is a BMX bike gang determined to use ramps from which they've been banned. They'll do anything to use the ramps including befriending Jake's sister. The town's new skate park manager coaches Jake and Peter, a former X-Games champ. But his flock of misfit helpers adds to the intrigue. When police chase down their street skating and someone lands in the hospital, the boys know it's time to get to the bottom of who has it in for them, and why. Skateboard Stuntboys is an action-packed story that never stops rolling. 155285647X http://catalog.westervillelibrary.org/record=b1446272*eng ]]> 1552855104 : $8.95 http://catalog.westervillelibrary.org/record=b1446271*eng ]]>Jake and Peter's latest adventure finds them mountaineering with a surly runaway and overcoming Pete's fear of heights. The series author is an experienced journalist and outdoor enthusiast well able to keep readers on the edge of their seats. This time, when Jake and Peter stumble upon adrenalin-pumping adventure, it's high in the peaks of the Bugaboo Mountains just west of the Rockies. Fifteen-year-old Jake is obsessed with solo-climbing a soaring granite spire. His best friend, Peter, is as absorbed with filming Jake for a video as he is in not divulging his secret fear of heights to the runaway girl who joins them.Though a talented climber, the surly runaway girl seems possessed by a death wish. When Jake arrives at the halfway mark and cheerfully hangs his overnight cot on anchors at a death-defying 150-story height above the ground, all seems well, but the next day, a lightning storm begins to unravel this carefully planned high-risk adventure. When a crisis prompts the girl to put her life at stake for Jake, it falls to Peter to overcome his fear to get everyone home safely. Packed with mountaineering lore and cliff-hanging tension, Vertical Limits features adventures in competitive gym climbing, outdoor urban climbing, and wilderness rock climbing. 1552857832 http://catalog.westervillelibrary.org/record=b1446270*eng ]]>A scuba-diving accident leaves Jake and Peter and a surfer girl stranded on a deserted island with surfboards as their only means of escape.
