When they meet each other at a surf camp, it becomes an adventure filled with the good and bad. ‘Starfish sisters’ is a fantastic book filled with adventure, so come on an adventure with Georgie, Ace, Kia and Micki.  There are fights, breakups, boys, beach, surfing and you can discover the true meaning of friendship.  ‘Starfish sisters’ begins with Georgie and her best friend Micki going to a surf camp. Georgie used to love surfing but ever since she started surfing in competitions she has started to feel the pressure and might be having second thoughts about surfing.  As you read on into the book, Kia and Micki get off to a bad start, and Kia has troubles with Georgie because Georgie had been surfing really well and Kia wasn’t happy because she had not and she feared that she won’t make it nationally. Ace is the oldest out of the three girls and she is a model. She comes to the surf camp because she loved surfing.  All four girls share the same cabin. Ace is the oldest, followed by Georgie and Kia and Micki is the youngest. Ace, Georgie and Kia are having a catwalk to raise money for a new surfboard for Micki and at first it didn’t seem like a good idea but the more the girls become friends the bigger and better it gets. What will happen? Will all the girls make surfing internationally and stick together, will they stay friends forever? You will have to find out for yourself… STARFISH SISTERS. Alysha, Year 8
