Wave Good-bye

Luna Bay #2

by Francess Lin Lantz

Five best friends go coastal in this fabulously fun surfing series from Roxy Girl! Rae hasn't been her usual self lately, and no one at camp seems to know why. Her crabby attitude is starting to affect everyone, including her best friend, Luna. When Luna catches Rae precariously riding the piers, she decides to confront her friend head-on. Finally Rae admits the Her parents have decided to separate, and even worse -- her father's company is relocating him to Chicago. Now Rae feels torn between staying in southern California with her overbearing mother and moving with her father to an unfamiliar city. Though leaving would ease the tension between Rae and her mom, it would mean the end of Rae's surfing, too. Will Luna be able to convince Rae to stick around or will she lose her best friend forever? It's all about a passion for the sport ... and life. Be sure to check out the latest surfscope and lovescope inside!

Then she thinks all of her friends are trying to take away her boyfriend and they think they are jeloise of them but they are not. Then she told her dad that she was moving to chicago with him then she sees her friends and then thats really the end

I kind of liked this book. This book was about a girl that had to go to camp and doesn’t have a very good life. I think it was surprising when her parents separate and her dad has to move to Chicago. I liked the part when Luna, her best friend was trying to convince her to stay with her instead of moving to Chicago with her dad. I think anybody that likes best friend and girl kind of books will like this book.

Its a great book for 6 7 8th graders. Shows how boys can blind some people. But Luna figures out the guy she's falling for is not worth losing her friendship with her best friends. Her mom hates Luna's passion for surfing but she plans a day at the beach for kids who are sick to convince her mom to let her surf again and it works :).

In this second installment of the Luna Bay series, Luna's best friend Rae must deal with her parents seperation, an arrogant boy surfer that her friends don't like and her overbearing mom forbidding her to surf.
