    About this audiobook

    PMW-Perfect Monster Wave. It could be the answer to all Logan's problems. He could ride it and figure out what to do about his deadbeat dad, who turned out to be a major loser. He could figure out how to help his mom out of the financial jam his dad put her in. He could decide whether going to college and forsaking the wave and the surfer's life are really what he wants to do. He could even forgive his former best friend, Fin, for being the greatest surfer Hermosa Beach has ever seen. The Perfect Monster Wave. But when it comes, Logan doesn't expect to see Fin riding it. He also doesn't expect Fin to die riding it. Logan didn't even know anyone his age could die. Suddenly his world is in a tailspin, but his faithful bud, Z-boy, may have the answer for Logan-a summer job muling illegal cargo cross-country.  

    While Logan knows it's not the smartest thing to do, it does seem like the only thing to do. A road trip could be just what he needs to clear his head and make some quick cash. But with Z-boy's constant screwups, a band of Nazi surfers out for blood and a mysterious stranger on their tail, Logan is starting to have some serious doubts about this summer job, and wonders if he'll even make it home alive.

      Logan Tom is a good student and wants to go to college but his single mom is in serious financial trouble and his deadbeat dad is no help. He and his friends love surfing and one of his best friends, Fin, has just signed on to the professional surfing circuit. Even though Fin’s father is a former professional surfer, Logan taught Fin everything he knows. After Logan witnesses Fin’s death from a monster wave, Logan goes into an emotional tailspin. He feels overwhelmed by pressure to solve his mother’s financial problems so he can go to college and by guilt over a fight he and Fin had. His other friend, Z-boy, is kicked out of the house because he isn’t graduating from high school and he wants Logan to help him transport drugs to Florida for a local drug dealer. They can make some big money and Logan thinks it will help with his college tuition. This coming-of-age novel is an adrenaline rush from beginning to end with exhilerating surf scenes, liberal references to pot smoking, and the cross country journey of the two boys with all its attendant misadventures usually caused by the hapless Z-boy. Logan and Z-boy are likeable characters and the ending is shocking. Mostly boys will be drawn to this book because of the content and the vivid writing.
