A twisty story about love, loss, and lies, this contemporary oceanside adventure is tinged with a touch of dark magic as it follows seventeen-year-old Wendy Darling on a search for her missing surfer brothers. Wendy's journey leads her to a mysterious hidden cove inhabited by a tribe of young renegade surfers, most of them runaways like her brothers. Wendy is instantly drawn to the cove's charismatic leader, Pete, but her search also points her toward his nemesis, the drug-dealing Jas. Enigmatic, dangerous, and handsome, Jas pulls Wendy in even as she's falling hard for Pete. A radical reinvention of J. M. Barrie's classic tale,Second Star is an irresistible summer romance about two young men who have yet to grow up - and the troubled beauty trapped between them.

Alyssa B. Sheinmel was born in California and now lives in New York City. She is the author ofSecond Star,The Stone Girl, The Lucky Kind, andThe Beautiful Between.
