Arjun Green and two of his friends want to skateboard down a five-mile-long irrigation ditch that has no water in it during the months of November and December. If they can skate the entire "Snake" without "getting bitten," they will earn the right to wear a snake patch on their jackets. The only thing in their way is a high school bully named Cliff. Skaters and nonskaters alike will enjoy the characters, setting, and riveting plot of this story.
