About This Book

When Tallulah catches the eye of the coolest girl at her new school, she pretends to be a surfing pro to fit in—until a scary mishap exposes her fib. Labeled a poser, Tallulah finds an unexpected ally in a quirky, talented surfer who helps her learn to ride the waves for real. Faced with a tough choice about loyalty and truth, Tallulah must prove she's not just pretending, but genuinely part of the surf crew and a true friend.
