Fourteen-year-old Kai Ford knows exactly how to read the ocean. As a talented surfer, he understands the sheer power of the waves and treats the water with the ultimate respect it demands. But when he steps off his board and back onto the beach, that sense of boundaries completely washes away. Kai has a bad habit of invading other people's privacy. Whether he snoops where he shouldn't or pushes too far into his friends' personal lives, his lack of respect on land is starting to create a massive wipeout in his social life. While he can perfectly navigate a turbulent swell, navigating the complex waters of friendship and trust proves to be a much bigger challenge. Can Kai learn to treat the people around him with the same careful respect he gives the sea, or will his snooping cost him the friends who matter most? Dive into this compelling sports story that perfectly balances thrilling surfing action with real-life middle school drama.

The Emperor loves fancy outfits more than anything else in the world, and he will spend any amount of gold to look his absolute best.

It takes the honest voice of one brave child during a grand royal parade to finally speak the hilarious truth.
