Summary
An Outstanding International Book (USBBY)
A 2026 KIDS FAVORITE!
The bluff of a lifetime…
It started off innocently enough. Mo just wanted to catch a girl’s eye. She was this super-talented and mysterious skater girl who looked like she had the universe all figured out. So Mo did what any self-respecting nerd would do: He put aside his chess pieces, his guinea pig, and his books on astronomy and transformed himself into a skater guy, in the hopes that she might notice him.
He never expected to catch the attention of his entire town, practically all of Sweden, and the internet. But that’s exactly what happens when Mo—by a stroke of total luck—pulls off the skateboarding trick of a lifetime: He goes viral.
What’s a guy to do when the whole universe is expecting him to be something he’s not? Find out in this charming and hilarious story as Mo learns the meaning of being true to yourself…the hard way.
