Surfer Girl: Funny Children's Poems about Self-Image

Arena Schmidt never wanted to be a secret agent. She interferes in a priority mission and steals a new technology prized by several governments and secret organizations, but is caught and imprisoned. Threatened with a life of menial employment unless she joins the CIA, she surrenders herself.

Assigned to a unit known as "The Misfits," she struggles to recover the technology. Each Misfit offers a unique perspective and unconventional methods, from martial arts master Nate to enigmatic analyst Sterling to bubbly, enthusiastic Lorna. Slowly the Misfits win her over with their charm and their loyalty.

Sinister organizations move against the CIA to capture more than just the technology, fragmenting the Misfits and shattering their resolve. Arena finds herself in the middle of gunfights and high-speed chases, on the run from the organization's treacherous double-agent out to claim her and the technology for their own.

Surfer Girl is an action-adventure new adult book appropriate for ages 14 and up. There is moderate violence and several deaths.
