"Have you ever seen a big wave? One that's 20, 30, 40, even 50 feet tall? Here's a better question: would you ever surf a big wave? Sarah Gerhardt did-and this is her story.

Full of thrills and scientific facts, Sarah and the Big Wave is about the first woman to surf Mavericks, a break known as ""Mount Everest meets Niagara Falls."" This tale of adventure and indomitable spirit will appeal to fans of Counting on Katherine and The Shark Lady."

Reviews for Sarah and the Big Wave

A determined young woman seizing the moment in vast, teal-blue ocean is a natural draw, and with the IOC adding surfing to its roster of events, librarians can expect extra interest when the next Olympic games are played. --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
