Loads of drama, wrapped up in a long-kept secret. This season, pull in middle grade readers! Grab a surfboard and catch a wave with crazy Charlie.

Charlie, and his human, live aboard a boat called Ninja. Poachers boldly prowl local turtle nests. Why is the Coast Guard always too late? Who can make a difference? Surely not mere dogs?
Charlie's leadership tips the balance in his friend group. His fellows begin to see that everyone, and anyone, is called to take a stand. The dogs learn to ride their surfboards with expert skill, but wily poachers stand in the way. The canine surfers must understand their power to make a difference ...just as they are.
