When she drops into a perfect wave, Grace can forget that her best friend, Ford Watson, has a crush on her that she can’t reciprocate, no matter how tempting.

But summer is about more than just big waves. As romances ignite and her feelings for Ford threaten to reach the point of no return, Grace must face the biggest challenges of her life.</p> <p>This summer, everything changes.</p> <p><strong>Praise:</strong><br />“A compelling and atmospheric story of love and friendship—two young people try to catch the perfect wave? and figure out where they belong.”—<span style="font-size: 10px;"><strong>Cynthia Leitich Smith</strong>, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>Eternal</em></span></p> <p><em>"</em>This debut about a surfer girl delves into hidden child abuse and scores with strong characterizations."—<span style="font-size: 10px;"><em><strong>KIRKUS REVIEWS</strong></em></span></p> <p>"Scheibe's story is rich with details, real-life problems, and characters you want to hang out with.
