In sun-drenched Orange County, California, the surfers pray for an endless summer of awesome waves and good vibes. Suki Leiber is at the hub of a circle of teens from both sides of the pier--and her compassion, humor, and common sense help her friends in ways they don't even realize. In book 1, Let There Be Lighten Up, everyone's got their own problems to deal with--a serious lack of funds, a new young step-mom, and the possibility of an arranged marriage!
