'Blue Water High: The Novel is based on the hugely popular children's television series Blue Water High, which won "most outstanding children's program" at the 2006 Logie Awards. It's the engrossing story of 12 months at the academy, seen through the eyes of Fly. Surfing is all Fly has ever wanted to do but, suddenly, there's a whole lot more that seems to be getting in the way - such as Heath, and some very buried demons that Fly is determined not to reveal.
'And then there's the one question that haunts them all: who will qualify to surf the pro-circuit and win a three-year sponsorship contract?' (Publisher's blurb)

'Seven 15 year-old surfers have been selected from around Australia and overseas to take part in an intensive 12-month residential school program at Blue Water High. At the beachside school they join other pupils in a normal year's academic work as well as receiving special coaching in surfing. At the end of the year, two of the seven will qualify to surf the pro-circuit and win a three-year sponsorship contract. The series is a race into the finals for the wild card, a race to get through the year, and a race to grow up. The seven teens, forced to live, study and train together—at the same time become best friends and greatest competitors.'
