Jett Stratton

Dani's brother left behind more than memories, he left a list. Ten skateboard tricks they promised to land together before summer ended. He never got the chance. Now, Dani's determined to finish it for him. But when Liam rolls into the park-a sharp-witted skater who happens to use a wheelchair everything changes. Together, they form an unlikely team with a shared mission: finish the list, no matter what.
Through bruises, breakthroughs, rivalries, and laughter, Dani and Liam discover that every trick landed is more than a skill-it's a story, a step forward, a way to heal. Trick Nine is a heartfelt, high-energy middle-grade novel about friendship, resilience, and showing up for yourself and for someone else. Perfect for ages 8-12. Inclusive, inspiring, and full of heart.
