Surf's Up by Kwame Alexander
It's a wild ride on the sea of imagination, and a rousing high-five to the power of reading.-Publishers Weekly, starred review
Surf's up, Bro! Not yet, Dude. Books are boring. Not this one!
Newbery Award Winner Kwame Alexander's bouncy ode to the joy of reading.
Bro and Dude have very different ideas about how to spend a day at the beach. But as Bro continues to gasp and cheer while he reads his book (Moby Dick), Dude can't help getting pulled in--literally. Before you can shout "Surf's up!" both frogs are sharing the same adventure-- that is, until they get to the beach. Newbery Medalist Kwame Alexander and illustrator Daniel Miyares join forces to give readers a wild ride, celebrating the joys of summer and reading.
Kwame Alexander is a poet, educator, and the New York Times Bestselling author of more than 35 books, including Rebound, the follow-up to his, Newbery medal-winning middle grade novel, The Crossover. Some of his other works include Booked, which was longlisted for the National Book Award, The Playbook: 52 Rules to Help You Aim, Shoot, and Score in this Game of Life, Swing, and the picture books, Out of Wonder and The Undefeated, which was longlisted for the National Book Award, and won the Caldecott Medal, a Newbery Honor, and the Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award.
