Wavehouse captures the twists and turns ofgrowing up with sensitivity, humor, and heart-pounding surfingadventures. Fans of Sarah Dessen's beachside novels will enjoy Kaltman's seaside setting peppered with quirky and unforgettable characters.Warning: you may be tempted to grab a board and paddle out to Kendall'sWatch once you've finished. -Diana Gallagher, author of Lessons in Falling
Wavehouse is a much-needed addition to youngadult fiction as it centers on a powerful yet painfully shy femaleathlete holding her own in the male-dominated sport of surfing. AliceKaltman is able to put readers alongside Anna on her surfboard in a waythat only an author who is a surfer herself could. In her descriptions, I can feel the wind through my wet hair, the acceleration of thesurfboard beneath me, and the ecstatic terror of entering the shimmering barrel of a wave twice my height.- Megan Westfield, author of Leaving Everest
Delightedly, Wavehouse also contains a heart-melting lovestory and readers will fall hard for the thoughtful and mysterious Men's Junior World Surf Champion Chris Kahimbe. I especially liked how thisbudding relationship forces Anna to face her disapproval of her mother's over-dependence on men and find her own balance in the feeling of being in love without losing herself to it.
A super shy teen surfer braves ten footwaves, a stormy relationship with her single mom and the tumultuoustides of first love in this poignant debut YA coming-of-age story. Icheered for Anna aka The Surfing Siren and readers will too as she faces down her inner demons and overcomes her fears to let her gifts as anathlete and artist shine. A stirring exploration of the sustaining power of a young girl's growing trust in herself, her friendships, and herunconventional family portrayed with honesty, wit and true grit. Bravo!- Laura Geringer Bass, author of The Girl With More Than One Heart
