You're on your board. And whether you are a Barney or a Marley, the wave is coming... That used to be Genie's mantra. Little did she know that the wave would literally take her out of this world. Now, faced with a new life, unbelievable dimensions and unexpected dangers, she's got to pull off the ride of her life, or wipe out. The prelude to the EdgeWorld series serves as an introduction both to the new world Genie finds and the plight that has found her. An American teenager living in Bolivia with her father and younger brother, Genie was trying her best to take care of her family in the wake of her mother's death. But that was before she crashed headfirst into the curious stranger and her whole world turned upside down. Now new possibilities, good and bad, await her at every turn, but she cannot allow concerns of the outcome affect how she rides - surf's up!
