Ideal for reluctant readers and ESL students, this short novel has action, intrigue, and relatable teen characters. At first glance, Alex Miller seems like a typical kid, typical hair, typical clothes, typical hobbies. But Alex's life is anything but typical... and fitting in has become a matter of life and death. The unfortunate witness to a crime, Alex can't forget the things he has seen, and neither can the man he helped put in jail. The Witness Relocation Program has changed the identities of Alex and his mother repeatedly, but they still need to keep running to stay one step ahead of his enemies. His latest identity as a skateboarder in Virginia Beach is no easy ride. Nosegrabs, ollies, and kickflips are all new to him. Alex has to catch on quickly to blend in, but the biggest trick he'll have to master is staying alive.

I purchased these for a teacher in my school district as requested. She has been very happy with them so far.

It's not easy to reach a reluctant reader. You need to know the students, know the books, and seek creative ways to connect the two. Tony Varrato knows high school students. He knows what they like and what they don't. His book, FAKIE, is bound to be a hit with the reluctant reader population. Also bound to be a hit with boys, especially ones who are into skateboarding. FAKIE, with its fast pace, pulls you into the story and holds your attention to the very end. The title of the book is quite apropos, as the term "fakie" refers to riding a skateboard backwards from the way you would usually ride it.

Fakie describes Danny Torbet's life - he is living his life totally different from the way most people live their lives.

Danny then Dylan then Zach then - what number identity is he up to? Seven? Eight? Now he is Alex Miller. This time he is a skater, last time he was a football player. As quickly as one life ends, a new one starts. Why can't he be plain old Danny Torbet?

There is a good reason - if he wants to stay alive, his true identity must stay hidden. If a group of teens were standing around would you be able to ID Danny Torbet? He certainly hopes not. The Witness Protection Program doesn't want the bad people who are after him to find him either.

Alex/Danny wants to look like any teenager on any given day in any town in the USA. At all times he and his mom must stay ahead of enemies. Each time their enemies get a little bit closer. What will happen when they close in on them this time? Will he rely on the friends he's made or will they pick up and leave once again? You'll have to read the book to find out!

I did not read this but recently met a young man living in a secure juvenile residential facility who read it. He read it in the facility and really loved it. I wanted to share this.
