Surfside Girls graphic novel series
It's the summer before eighth grade in the sleepy beach town of Surfside. Jade has gone boy-crazy, and her best friend Sam isn't having it. Can't we just go surfing already?! But when Sam follows an otherworldly underwater sparkle into a mysterious cave and ends up seeing ghosts, she realizes that there are bigger fish to fry in Surfside. Follow Sam and Jade - the surfing sleuths - in their action- packed adventures as they hunt clues and solve mysteries.
"The cheery, doodle-like depictions... are perfectly in keeping with the breezy, warm-hearted tone. Sam and Jade's friendship, which is changing as they approach tweendom, adds a nice dose of realism."
