Title: SLAM - Nick Hornby - book
Summary :
Sam is fifteen years old. His passions: skateboarding and girls. His mentor, Tony Hawk, the world champion of the discipline, with whom he communicates via a giant poster pinned to the wall of his room. If it weren't for his mother's chronic anxieties, his little world would be perfect. But love is like skateboarding: accidents can happen quickly. His girlfriend, the very beautiful and intimidating Alicia, announces that she's pregnant and determined to keep the baby... For Sam, it's the fall of the century, the famous "slam" that skateboarders dread so much! Between laughter and emotion, this is the story of a teenager's forced journey into adulthood...
" Slam , with its humor and lucidity, its stripped-down, oral style against a pop culture backdrop, remains a pure Nick Hornby moment."
Marie Rogatien, Le Figaro Magazine
