Description
In the summer of 1957, a boy-crazy teenage girl arrives in Malibu and quickly finds her place among the surfers, the sun, and the restless energy of a beach community that feels like its own world. As she chronicles her days on the sand—learning the rhythms of surfing, forging fierce friendships, and navigating the thrills and uncertainties of first love—she discovers what it means to grow up on her own terms. With its breezy, observational storytelling and vivid sense of place, this classic coming-of-age novel captures the optimism, style, and social momentum of mid-century America. Equal parts romance, friendship, and self-discovery, it’s a cultural touchstone that helped define the era’s pop imagination.
