Summary

A heart-pounding love story that grips like a riptide, and doesn’t let go… 
Fifteen-year old Sam has moved from the big city to the coast – stuck there with his mum and sister on the edge of nowhere. 
Then he meets beautiful but damaged surfer-girl Jade. Soon he’s in love with her, and with surfing itself. But Jade is driven by an obsession: finding and riding a legendary huge wave no one has ever ridden. 
As the weeks wear on, their relationship barrels forward with the force of a deep-water wave – into a storm, to danger … and to heartbreak. 
In this riveting tale of teenage romance and sports recreation, Vick masterfully captures the essence of young adult fiction. The quest for the best wave becomes a metaphor for the tumultuous journey of adolescence, making KOOK a top pick for young readers. 
For fans of Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), Robin Stevens (A Spoonful of Murder), Dean Atta (Confetti), Zana Fraillon (Wisp), and Ruta Sepetys (The Bletchley Riddle).
