Description

Mateo Garcia is a young city boy who wants desperately to be good at something -something that will take him from that skinny kid with the big hair to someone who matters. Despite struggling with celiac disease, Mateo keeps his sense of humor and channels his innermost strength into an incredible ride on roller skates all the way to regionals.
