Official synopsis Publisher
Cassie’s been a pro surfer for as long as she can remember and people have never been her thing. But ever since a near shark-death experience, the ocean hasn’t exactly been her thing either. So Cassie’s coach has ordered her to take the summer off and go to Camp Ohana – a water sports camp on a beach in Hawaii. Cassie needs to get her confidence back and have fun, but if she doesn’t find a way to make friends with her fellow C.I.T.s (counselors in training) or with the water, neither of those possibilities seem very likely.
