Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 7-10-As junior guides for Sam's Adventure Tours, friends Jake and Peter find more adventure and danger than they had bargained for when they take an attractive French teen cave diving off Canada's west coast. They run out of air, but finally make it to dry land. The intrigue continues when the boat from which they were diving is nowhere to be seen and it appears that no one is looking for them. While finding food and shelter isn't easy, getting along proves the greatest challenge for the trio as the boys compete for headstrong Valerie's attention. Against the backdrop of a rugged landscape rich in Native American artifacts and history, the story is quickly propelled to its climax when the teens attempt to reach the mainland on their surfboards during a storm. For all those athletic, adventurous types, or anyone just interested in reading about them, Surf Zone will not fail to delight.-Emily Rodriguez, Alachua County Library District, Gainesville, FL
