Michael seems like a brave and promising young man. I hope his self-image enhances.

Thank you for the great review.

I got a free copy thanks to the author. The book also has a perfect rating from your review, so I have no doubt it's worth it. I can also guess touches of action and suspense in the book based on the review, which are my favorites.

This story captures how Michael adapts to life in Ireland and how he helps fight crime. It's interesting to follow his journey. Congrats on BOTD!

A crime story set in Ireland about Russian smugglers sounds intriguing. Thank you for your review.

A crime-fiction related to Russia and Italy with Ireland as the backdrop sounds too good to pass up! I’m eager to get started with this one. Congrats on the BOTD!

"The Irish Skateboard Club" by Brinn Colenda is about the adventures of an American student in Ireland. Young Michael is sent to Ireland to learn about Irish culture. Instead, the righteous Michael set out to stop the Russian-Italian criminals.

Drawing awareness to human trafficking on an international level, today's BOTD is a young adult coming-of-age novel that will appeal to a wide audience, especially those who are part of an adoptive family, as they may relate well with the main character. I'm going to add this to my classroom book recommendations board! Thank you!! :-)

This book has such an interesting opening with a parkour element before you get to know Michael better. I am interested to read more about Michael’s time in Ireland and the criminal plot line.

This must be an interesting read, judging by this beautiful review. I fear for Michael, though, because it was stated that things did not go as planned. Congrats on BOTD.

I really enjoyed reading this book because it not only entertained me, but also taught me about history. It's a must-read for adults, teenagers, and anyone with an adopted child, especially from another country. The book sheds light on the issue of human trafficking, showing that it can happen closer to home than we think. I highly recommend it to both teens and their parents.
