| Publisher Description: Reminiscent of Alex Garland's The Beach, this action-packed novel brilliantly depicts one teenager's journey to understanding the importance of relationships, responsibility, and revenge. Sharp and punchy writing energizes Goog's road trip along the coastline of Australia with his two best friends; however, their time enjoying the surf is compromised by vivid encounters with sharks the size of trucks, a sinister hitchhiker, and neo-Nazis. As their trouble and excitement grow along their epic trip, so does their strength and independence. |
