FRIED SQUID RECIPE by Lauren Wille.

Glen Maverick spends his days keeping eggs warm. His brother Cody, spends his days riding waves. The 17-year-old penguin fell in love with the sport when legendary surf champ, Big Z, gave him a shell necklace and the courage to be the best.

Imagining the sun glistening on water on the coast of Cali or Hawaii? Nope, this ambitious surfer is from Shiverpool, Antarctica, riding freezing cold waves on an ice-carved board.

Ignoring his mother’s disinterest and his brother’s jealousy, Cody does whatever it takes when a surf recruiter comes to test his skills for the 10th Annual Big Z Memorial Competition, honoring Cody’s deceased hero. When there are no waves in sight, the recruiter leaves Cody and his dreams behind. But it takes more than that to stop him, so he chases after the recruit team as it swims away on a humpback whale (literally).

When Cody arrives at the tropical Pen Gu Island, he makes friends with Joe the chicken from Wisconsin and falls in love at first sight with Lani, and island lifeguard. But it doesn’t take long for him to find trouble. Tank Evans has been the surf champ ever since Big Z’s death and when Cody overhears him talking smack about his idol, he challenges him to a surf contest. He is practically eaten by the wave and wakes up on an examining table with Lani’s Uncle Geek taking care of him.

After discovering a hidden beach and surfboard hut, Cody realizes it belonged to Big Z. From here it doesn’t take him long to realize Geek is actually Big Z and he has been in the presence of his hero for days. With some help from Big Z, Cody might actually have a shot at winning the competition.

You may not have the luxury of a campfire and live music by Big Z, but fried squid can still be awesome. Can you dig it?
