We first encounter her trying to make a huge leap across a gap in a broken down roller coaster, which she makes, but breaks her wrist in the process. voice-verified

What follows, well, that would be telling, but suffice it to say, things take some really surprising turns with skateboard battles, new friends, old problems, some touches of magic in more ways than one. voice-verified

If I have a quibble, I'd have loved some back matter to learn about the creative process behind this really fun new series. voice-verified

Can't wait to see where the second one is. voice-verified

And I had a great time with this one. voice-verified

There are multiple covers, of course, with these things. voice-verified

I have a Joe Canones cover, which was really nice to put in my folder. voice-verified

I know I like him a lot. voice-verified

Anywho, across the last few months around here, we've talked a lot about sports books. voice-verified

And they've all been fictional for the most part, but I'm going to tell you one that's got tragedy and triumph in huge measure in real life. voice-verified

So because of the Knicks, I've been diving into my basketball book archives, and I reread my favorite sports bio of all time, which is called Foul, the Connie Hawkins story from 1972 by David Wolf. voice-verified

Connie's name should be more well-known than it is, as he was the first high flyer in basketball, scoring... voice-verified

points by soaring above the rim for dunks and an amazing assortment of moves befitting his nickname, which was the Hawk. voice-verified

However, the peak years of his career were taken away as he was unjustly accused in a betting scandal and he was banned from the NBA, only getting to the league at age 27 and only after a multimillion dollar lawsuit. voice-verified

Quick version, 1960, Connie was the most recruited high school player in America and voice-verified

after leading boys' high school in Brooklyn to two consecutive city titles and two undefeated seasons. voice-verified

John knows this well. voice-verified

Connie chose Iowa University, and on his first Christmas back home, Connie spent his housing and tuition money on gifts for his family. voice-verified

Unable to get back to school without this money, he approached a friend, a lawyer named Jack Molinas, for a $200 loan, which was paid back. voice-verified

Unknown to Connie, Molinas was about to be indicted for trying to fix college basketball games. voice-verified
