Willis is very sensible; his Gran, on the other hand, is completely bonkers! When Willis finds himself in a spot of financial bother, the prize in a skateboard competition seems to be the answer to his prayer. The only problem is that he is too scared to ride the giant skateboard park! When Skateboard Gran offers to enter the competition in his place it seems his problems are over. That is, until Gran has an accident on her board. Then Willis has to face his own fears...and ride the terrifying 'Wall of Death'. Suitable for reading age 8 and interest age 8 - 12
