Movits Lind, who goes by Mo (pronounced “moo”), lives in a suburb of Stockholm with his parents and sisters (white). He has a guinea pig, Domino, who does tricks, and a best friend named Ruben. He loves to play chess and cook up unique dishes. While joining Ruben at a local skate ramp to watch Ruben’s older brother perform, Mo is instantly smitted by a talented skater girl. His feelings make him feel physical ill—it’s his first time being attracted to a girl—so he seeks the advice of his older neighbor and confidant, a brash, funny woman named Ingbritt. Ingbritt has a new boyfriend on the weekly and informs Mo on the power of love. Mo’s solution is to take up skateboarding to try to meet up with his crush, Bea. After a few bumpy lessons, Mo finds himself at a parking ramp with a bunch of experienced skaters, including Bea. As they take turns skating down the long ramp, Mo accidentally performs a series of moves that almost gets him injured but instead seems like an intentional and impressive feat. Captured on video, it instantly goes viral, turning Mo into an overnight skating celebrity. Mo has major imposter syndrome … but on the other hand, he also has Bea’s attention. When he’s asked to demonstrate his moves on TV, his simple desire to meet a girl backfires spectacularly. The over-the-top plot is kept on the rails with credible characters, wry humor, and a satisfying conclusion.

The bluff of a lifetime...

It started off innocently enough. Mo just wanted to catch a girl's eye. She was this super-talented and mysterious skater girl who looked like she had the universe all figured out. So Mo did what any self-respecting nerd would do: He put aside his chess pieces, his guinea pig, and his books on astronomy and transformed himself into a skater guy, in the hopes that she might notice him.

He never expected to catch the attention of his entire town, practically all of Sweden, and the internet. But that's exactly what happens when Mo--by a stroke of total luck--pulls off the skateboarding trick of a lifetime: He goes viral.

What's a guy to do when the whole universe is expecting him to be something he's not? Find out in this charming and hilarious story as Mo learns the meaning of being true to yourself...the hard way.
