What They're Saying

“Second Star is gorgeous: at once sun-soaked and haunted, elegant and strange. As perfect a book about loss, love, and California as I can imagine.” –Anna Godbersen, New York Times bestselling author of The Luxe
“This retelling of Peter Pan set in the surfing community makes some of its own magic.” –Kirkus Reviews
