(Paperback)

(Hardback)

The year is 1972. Fifteen-year-old Haunani "Nani" Grace Nuuhiwa is transplanted from her home in Hawaii to Santa Monica, California after her father's fatal heart attack. Now the proverbial fish-out-of-water, Nani struggles to adjust to her new life with her alcoholic white (haole) mother and the lineup of mean girls who rule State Beach.

(Hardback)

"With the summer spiraling out of control, Nani starts to question everything she has always believed about how to rule the beach. Maybe it is time to leave the rules behind, starting with the most important one: Girls don't surf."--
