RPSC September Book Club: Wave by Diana Farid

Join us for our September Book Club meeting, where we'll be discussing Wave by Diana Farid.

Summary: "Thirteen-year-old Ava loves to surf and to sing. Singing and reading Rumi poems settle her OCD, and catching waves with her best friend, Phoenix, lets her fit in—her olive skin looks tan, not foreign.But then Ava has to spend the summer before ninth grade volunteering at the hospital to follow in her single Persian mother’s footsteps to become a doctor. And when Phoenix’s past lymphoma surges back, not even surfing, singing, or poetry can keep them afloat, threatening Ava’s hold on the one place and the one person that make her feel like she belongs.With ocean-like rhythm and lyricism, Wave is about a girl who rides the waves, tumbles, and finds her way back to the shore."
