 The Biggest, Highest Wave

by Kerry McQuaide

Girl versus nature.

Surfer versus wave.

A graceful, gritty, and courageous female surfer faces the mighty force of nature’s waves—inspired by the world-famous, record-breaking swells that occur in Nazaré, Portugal. It’s a testament to the human spirit and a young girl’s ability to get back up after being turned upside down.



Parents, caregivers, and gift-givers, you can order your copy from your local bookstore (I’ve included some of my locals), Bookshop.org, Barnes and Noble, or wherever books are sold.
