'Sticks and Ranga live on the same street, go to the same school and love the same things – skateboarding and PlayStation.
When new kid James arrives in his wheelchair, Sticks isn’t sure they can be friends. But Sticks quickly discovers they have a lot in common. Cerebral palsy stops James from doing some things but it hasn’t dulled his sense of humour – and he’s pretty brainy, too. The only thing James can’t do is join Sticks and Ranga when they go skateboarding – or can he?
'Three mates, a beat-up old couch, a couple of skateboards and a steep hill … what could possibly go wrong?' (Publication summary)
