Stunning young adult fiction from the author of The Story of Tom Brennan, winner of the 2006 CBC Award for Older Readers. Georgie, Kia, Micki and Ace are thrown together at an elite girls' surfing camp. They're not friends straight away -- there's jealousy, insecurity, secrets and lies to deal with first. Yet they soon realise that they need to stick together, because their friendship brings out the best in each of them. But will they all make the grade?

How many letters does it take to spell out the truth? Evie has a gift - a gift she's not always comfortable with. But when Alex suggests they conduct a séance, Evie reluctantly agrees. The letters on the board start spelling out one name - C-A-Z - over and over, and Evie knows she's been contacted again. A cryptic message with nine letters leads Evie to a family where two sisters, one living, one dead, share a dark secret that must be revealed. But is Evie strong enough to solve the mystery and reveal the truth in time to release both girls?

The pressure builds for Kia, Georgie, Micki and Ace in the sequel to J.C. Burke's acclaimed novel Starfish Sisters. 'Starfish who surf together stick together ...' It was Ace who wrote that in Kia, Georgie and Micki's blue booklets on the last day of camp. Yet it's Ace who's ended up ruining everything - ending the Starfish Sisters before they've even begun. The Starfish Sisters should be happy that they're on track to make the Australian Junior Female Surfing Team. But will lies, secrets, fighting - and love - keep them apart?

Who is the girl in the red cardigan? Sometimes Evie sees things that other people don't.

A girl who is very persistent, who will not give up until she is found. A girl who once wore the red cardigan Evie now wears. And Evie can no longer ignore the question that needs an answer ... Who is the girl in the red cardigan?
