Every trick starts with wiping out. Every awkward moment deserves a coloring page.

Awkward Mode Activated: Skateboard Edition is a funny, relatable coloring book for tween and middle school boys, ages 9–13, following one perpetually awkward kid through the highs, wipeouts, and everything in between of skatepark life. From landing a trick with zero witnesses to filming a fail he immediately needs deleted, from grip tape worn down to nothing to that one older skater giving him a nod of approval — this book captures the specific chaos of learning something hard in public, one laugh-out-loud caption at a time.

• 44 original, single-sided illustrations — safe for markers and gel pens, no bleed-through

• Skateboarding, school, friends, family, and everyday tween life

• Bold, funny captions on every page — the humor tween boys actually get

• Detailed artwork with plenty of open space, sized for ages 9–13

• A "This book was colored by" keepsake page

Whether it's a birthday gift, a just-because gift, or a genuinely funny gag gift for the skater kid who insists he's too old for coloring books (he's not), this one's built for boys who know eating pavement is basically a rite of passage.
