Surfer Girl: A Guide to the Surfing Life
Grade 8-10 -This easy-to-read, how-to manual has sections on surfing culture, history, and just about everything else related to the sport. The authors introduce the lingo and explain  surfboard dos and don'ts, ways to keep surfwear from getting damaged, and more. The emphasis is on having fun and staying safe, and "insider" secrets draw readers in. The pages are filled with color photos; black-and-white graphics illustrate moves. This title is mainly an introduction to the sport but experienced teens may enjoy the advice and the incidental articles on surfing movies and music.-Karen Hoth, Marathon Middle/High School, FLCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
