A trip to the beach starts out as fun until best-friends Leah Criss, Sara Cross, and Aimee Applesauce begin to get clues to a mystery - from a shark! Is Dad playing a trick on them? Who is the pretty girl? The surfer? Is the lifeguard in on the practical joke? Or is it no joke at all? Put on your swimsuit (the color green is left) and join the girls as they try to solve the puzzle of the Shark Surfer Girl!
Every girl can identify with this situation. Wit leads to wisdom and charm leads to laughs. There's nothing "defective" about this unique girl detective trio!
Like all of Carole Marsh Mysteries, this mystery incorporates history, geography, culture and cliffhanger chapters that will keep kids begging for more! This mystery includes SAT words, educational facts, fun and humor, built-in book club and activities.
