Lucy eagerly anticipates a beach vacation with her best friend, Bonnie. Surfing lessons promise fun, but when Bonnie shines and Lucy struggles, jealousy threatens their bond. Can their friendship survive the waves, or will Lucy's insecurities wash it away? Dive into this relatable tale of friendship and self-discovery, where the real challenge lies not in the ocean, but in the heart.

From the publisher

Kowabunga! Lucy can’t wait to go on vacation with her BFF, Bonnie, and her family. They’re going to stay by the beach, take surfing lessons, and eat tons of junk food! But the trip takes a nosedive as soon as they hit the waves. Bonnie is a natural, while Lucy keeps wiping out. Lucy doesn’t want to feel jealous, but she can’t help wondering… will they still be friends when this vacation is over? Go Girl #8: Surf’s Up by Chrissie Perry and illustrated by Ash Oswald is a sweet, friendship story full of familiar themes that young readers will be able to relate to their own lives. Yet another fun, illustrated chapter book in the Go Girl! series. “The characters are likeable and believable–people you hope your own girls might take as friends.” –Fort Worth Star-Telegram
