Review

Charlie Han's a small boy. Something happened to his aunt, which makes his mom the helicopter parent of all time. Charlie is never allowed to get hurt, EVER. " I bet Genghis's mom was a lot more easygoing than mine." Most of the kids at school make fun of the tiny boy from Special Fried Nice, a Chinese takeout, and make him walk of shame. Dad hides behind his wok. This is when kids lineup on both sides of you to trip and kick you. His one friend is Sinus...yes he has a big nose. Now the sport that Charlie has fallen in love with...skateboarding. Charlie entries a skateboarding competition... Great story.

Overall Book Score: very good
