NEW! A Skateboarding Adventure, Part 2

A Reading Bug Adventure with Original Songs Part 2 of 2. Grab your helmet and knee pads—it's time to shred! Lauren, the Reading Bug, and the Fact Fly are heading to the most famous skatepark in the world: Venice Beach! But before they can drop in, they meet Livvy on the sand—a girl who has been bravely learning to skate with her older brother's help, only to have her confidence knocked right out from under her by a lost lucky necklace and a bully named Aden. From the history of "sidewalk surfing" in 1950s California to the difference between longboards, shortboards, and cruisers, there's a ton to discover on the way to the park. But the biggest lesson of the day? That when you fall, you haven't failed—and that sometimes the hardest part is simply showing up. Lace up your skate shoes and roll with us into Part 1 of this wheely exciting adventure!
