Surfing Sixteen

Summer is off again, traveling and competing in open water swim competitions and surfing whenever she can. A great white has been sited at the pier, and this affects Summer's ability to swim and surf in the ocean at home. Carrie is starting to act very strangely, and Phillip says something is wrong with Carrie and maybe Summer should move on because sometimes that's just what people have to do. Summer doesn't understand this because she thought best friends were forever because that's just the kind of girl Summer is. Every day Summer is growing stronger and more independent, and her mother is accepting things much better now, even though she still worries about Summer and feels that Summer is just doing too much, especially with Summer's heightened training schedule. Coach Tammy and her godmother and open water training coach, Jill, also decide it is time for Summer to move to a new swim team, and this is a very difficult thing for Summer to do because it means she must leave her old swim friends behind in favor of more intensive training on a new swim team. Something very big and exciting then happens that is to become a new part of Summer's legacy, and she ends up having an exciting adventure that is quite unexpected.
