Wave Waqrrior by Lesley Choyce

Orca Soundings is the publisher of this book.  Created for EL High School students, I wished they had these when I was teaching ESL at the High School.  As a library media teacher, I think these books work for the older teens. 

Wave Warrior is about surfing and not quiting.  Great story about a teen and a mentor who once a famous surfer in his day.  The boy comes from a nice family but is the only one interested in surfing.  He meets a man who is on a road trip to catch the waves on the east coast.  The veteran surfer teaches the teen, Ben, how to surf.  There's a cute surfer girl that befriends Ben.  Good story, works well for EL teens and for reluctant reader boys.
