This paperback edition is a radical, rousing high-five to the power of reading.

Surf's up! Not yet, Dude! Books are boring! Not this one!

Bro and Dude have very different ideas about how to spend the day at the beach. But as Bro continues to gasp and cheer as he reads his book (Moby Dick), Dude can't help but get curious.

Newbery Award Medal winner Kwame Alexander and celebrated illustrator Daniel Miyares offer a joy-filled ride on the magical waves where storytelling and imagination meet.
