Ava's Big Move

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Join the girls as they take on the world, one wave at a time! Meet five very different girls with one thing in common: they've caught the surfing bug!

Ava's Big Move follows Ava, who has grown up in a big city. But everything changes when her parents decide on a sea change – they're moving to the small town of Beachcrest to open a cafΓ©. Ava will be starting high school that year, and now she has to say goodbye to her life in the city.

Her new school is very different, and Ava misses her friends. When she hears that surfing is going to be offered as a sport for the first time, Ava uses her snowboard skills to give it a try. Not everyone thinks she can become a surfer, but Ava is determined to prove them wrong, and she's making new friends along the way!

Ava, Alex, Bronte, Janani, and Molly form the Surf Riders Club to help each other practise, but it quickly becomes much more than that. Whether it's learning how to get barrelled, dealing with problem parents, or contending with annoying boys, the Surf Riders Club are there for each other, no matter what.
