A heart-pounding love story that grips like a riptide, and doesn’t let go…
Fifteen-year old Sam has moved from the big city to the coast – stuck there with his mum and sister on the edge of nowhere.
Then he meets beautiful but damaged surfer-girl Jade. Soon he’s in love with her, and with surfing itself. But Jade is driven by an obsession: finding and riding a legendary huge wave no one has ever ridden.
As the weeks wear on, their relationship barrels forward with the force of a deep-water wave – into a storm, to danger … and to heartbreak.
3 Reasons You Should Read…
KOOK by Christopher Vick
- Male POV. There needs to be more of this in YA. Sam’s story needed to be told and we needed to read it.
- Real. Issues. Real. Life. Chris Vick does not shy away from the real and we couldn’t be happier about that.
- You guys know we have a soft spot for debut authors, and this is one newbie that you should keep your eye on. Grab a copy of KOOK and you’ll see why. Trust us.
***Meet Christopher Vick***
I live near Bath with my wife, daughter and surf-rat-of-a-dogToffee.
I have worked in marine conservation for years.
Though I live in-land, work, writing and surfing take me to the sea pretty often.
When I’m not working, writing or surfing I’m playing footy, reading, cooking, watching Game of Thrones, or listening to the Chemical Brothers
I listen to music when I write. It helps shut the world out.
