Surf's up for Jake and Peter as they face extreme adventure once again. This time their adventure will be on the waters of the Pacific Ocean. A scuba diving mishap which leaves a stranded girl on a deserted islands and the only chance for escape is her surfboard. Not only that but one of the biggest storms are brewing. It all started when Peter and Jake, meet their client for the week that consisted of a French family and a good looking girl which was about their age. It was all going good until the girl says that she wants to go snorkeling all because the boys basically encouraged her because of all of the stories told to the girl. So the next weekend off they all went on a scuba-diving exploration of an underwater cave traps them and Valerie, the daughter of one of their clients, on a small island with no means of communication. After sheltering in a small cabin on the island for several days, eating octopus and berries, the teens find three surfboards and decide to try to surf the three miles to the mainland. An hour into the exposed ocean, a storm blows up, with 20-foot swells that push them towards a rocky shore. I thought that this was a very good book and I also thought there was a very good meaning to this book. The meaning that I thought was in the book included respecting both the nature and the culture of the region. What I thought was a little disappointing was the fact that the female lead character, which twice requires rescue by Peter and Jake and adopts a caretaking role on the island. Though the plot is unique and well-researched, the issues with character development and pacing prevent the action from drawing the reader through the book. Over all I thought that the book could have been a little more realistic but otherwise I thought it was a very good read. I would strongly recommend this book to others who like reading about sports.
