Book of Tamarind series.
On a mission for her aging grandmother, Penny (a baby in The Lost Island of Tamarind) finds herself back on the magical island, where she undergoes trials to become the one to dive into a great wave and keep Tamarind--and her grandmother--safe. With its richly developed world, believable characters, and increasing intensity, this fine conclusion to the trilogy can also stand alone.
