Bookroo's summary
Kai Ford, a skilled fourteen-year-old surfer, knows the ocean's power but struggles with respecting others' privacy. His curiosity often lands him in hot water. As he navigates the waves and the complexities of personal boundaries, will Kai learn to mind his own business before his prying nature causes more trouble? Dive into Kai's world where the stakes are high, and the lessons are as deep as the sea.
From the publisher
When it comes to surfing, fourteen- year-old Kai Ford knows his stuff; he’s been riding the waves since he was ten. He respects the amazing power of the sea and knows - first-hand - how dangerous it can be. But what Kai doesn’t seem to respect is the privacy of others. Unfortunately, his prying nature sometimes leads to trouble. Will Kai learn the importance of minding his own business before he once again sticks his nose in where it doesn’t belong?
