Plot summary
Shaun Brumder is a high school student in Orange County who spends his free time surfing with friends. His closest friend, Lonny, is killed while riding a huge wave, and Shaun steps back from the ocean. He finds a book by Marcus Skinner on the sand and decides he wants to write. Skinner teaches at Stanford, so Shaun earns top grades and becomes class president to get accepted there. His counselor, Ms. Cobb, advises him to apply only to Stanford. She then mixes his transcript up with that of a failing student, Shane Brainard, and the university turns him down. Shaun asks his father, Bud, for help.
