(3) YA Wendy's quest to find her brothers, Michael and John, leads to a secret Pacific cove where homeless surfers live on the fringes of society. Her attraction to both leader Pete and to Jas, who deals a dangerous drug called "fairy dust," creates an intense love triangle. Sheinmel's overt allusions to Barrie eventually yield to an original story about grief and growing up.
