Connor is a young boy who wants to learn how to surf. He tries every day, but he never can seem to get the hang of it. Even worse, the other kids around him know how to surf, and they tease him because he can't surf. Then one day, when Connor is by himself at the beach, he makes a wish-and with the help of a little magic, he finds a new and surprising friend. Together they work on Connor's surfing skills, but he still can't seem to improve. There's a big surfing competition coming up, and though Connor doesn't think he can compete, he is determined to keep trying to surf. Then his new friend gives him a magical gift that just might help Connor gain the confidence he needs to get out in the waves and make his dreams come true. In this children's story, a boy trying to learn how to surf discovers a magical friend who helps him overcome his fears and believe in himself. Illustrated by J. L. Strickland
