BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
Generations of her family learned to ride the waves on that surfboard, but Lana loses it one day to an unlucky wave. Instead of scorn from her family, she finds love and understanding and learns how to let go. Meanwhile, the surfboard is only beginning its new journey.
For being from Colorado, Feagan does a great job of evoking the islands through her story and illustrations. She creates a harmony between Lana finding forgiveness from her family and the journey and uses the old surfboard experiences. While great for any ocean edge library, I think landlocked kids will also enjoy.
