Sky Brown : skateboarding phenom / by Cheryl Kim.
"At just 10 years of age, Sky Brown became the youngest professional skateboarder in the world. Instead of using a coach, she learns her tricks online. She's not afraid to take risks and push limits. After a horrific fall left her unresponsive with several skull fractures and a broken left hand and wrist, Brown is still determined to be the best skateboarder in the world!"-- Provided by publisher.
