Undercurrents (Tyler Gossard)
Camilla Huang had been lost in the undercurrents of her life. It had been nearly a year since her world was knocked off kilter, nearly a year since she lost her best friend to the waves. Camilla was left behind in the foamy wreckage, scrambling to make sense of the tragedy, scrambling to make sense of her life as it was now.
There was one thing that her best friend loved more than anything else in the world: the precious sea turtles found at their favorite beach in Malibu. Camilla realized she had to follow her best friend's footsteps in the sand and help save the sea turtles. She teamed up with a local college student and petitioned the city of Malibu to give them an office and a platform -- and they were given it! They soon got to work in the same building as Malibu Junior Rescue, both groups working to save the people and animals that flocked to Malibu Beach.
After she found her best friend's bucket list, Camilla knew she had to do one thing: complete everything on the bucket list, no matter how hard it was. With the help of her new friends at Malibu Junior Rescue, she knew she could tackle each and every dream and actually live again, just like her best friend would have wanted. And maybe, just maybe she would fall in love with this crazy thing called life -- and even with a cute boy named Tyler -- in the process.
Camilla Huang had a borrowed dream. She lived a borrowed life. It was up to her to keep those dreams afloat above the waves. It was up to her to live life for the two of them.
