       CHAPTER ONE

       Surf’s Up!

      I paddled my surfboard hard past the churning whitecaps as Leroy yowled on the beach. My dog went bonkers when I surfed. Maybe he was worried something bad would happen, but I’d been riding the waves every day since early June when I arrived here in Costa Rica. All I’d ever gotten was one nasty cut on my foot from a piece of spiky orange coral.

      “Ride that one! It’s perfect!” my best friend Violet shouted from the shore.

      “Not perfect enough!” I yelled back as I let the wave roll by.

      My friend Noah crouched on the hot-cinnamon sand. His messy brown hair flopped over his freckled forehead as he held Leroy back by his collar. Whenever I surfed, my dog had a habit of plunging into the ocean in his noble attempts to “save” me.

      Leroy and I were spending the summer in Jacó, Costa Rica, with Rosalie Claire and her husband, Thomas. Most afternoons, Thomas took a break from his work at the inn and taught me to surf.

      Violet and Noah had arrived late yesterday in San José. Rosalie Claire and I drove an hour and a half through the electric-green countryside along a narrow, twisty highway
