Description:
Clicks – When you just know.
Born and bred to win,
Cami’s family expects her to join a secret society called The Guard, marry one
of the two identical twin boys next door, and stay on Pinhold Island for the
rest of her life. But she has other plans: work beach patrol, win the Surf
Carnival and get a sponsor so that she can leave Pinhold to compete in
international surf rescue competitions and see the world.
Home to epic waves,
black sand beaches, and the world-famous Surf Carnival, Pinhold Island is
regularly voted the top surf spot in the country. People come from all over the
world to ride the waves or just relax in the natural beauty and rejuvenating
water. While visitors are jealous of the few hundred people who
get to live there, sixteen year old Cami feels stifled and trapped by her small
community and her family's expectations. Thanks to the intense link
she shares with her twin brother Mica, she can't even be alone with her
thoughts. As decedents of the ten families who originally settled on
Pinhold, Cami and Mica are part of a new generation of extreme surf lifeguards
who are expected to earn invitations into The Guard.
But a seemingly small injury knocks her out of the
first event and turns her summer upside down. It's suddenly impossible
for Cami to resist the magnetic attraction to Blake, one of the twins next
door; the one she's never been interested in. Just as the Surf Carnival
competition starts to heat up, the best swimmers start to drown. Pulled
to the ocean floor, they're found barely alive , stuck in
unexplainable comas. When Mica goes down too, Cami can no longer wait for those
in charge to figure out how to help him. To save the lives of her brother
and their friends, Cami must ignore what she sees and what she's told, and
instead must learn to trust the clicks, her instincts, that help her find the
truth in heart even when it goes against everything her brain thinks it knows.
Amy Evans is a wife, mother, ocean lover and
storyteller. She's created multi-platform mobile apps, social media games, and
interactive story worlds for HIPnTASTY, a company she co-founded in 2001.
She loves dolphins, aliens and pugs, and sometimes writes for so long
they all look like the same thing. Clicks is her debut novel about
instincts, a Surf Carnival, an endless summer and the hottest beach patrol on
the California coast. Clicks are truths
you can feel, the sounds that the universe makes when it warns you that your
world is about to change forever. If you listen to them, you get on the wave
before it crests; control your path, surf into your destiny. If you ignore
them, the wave crashes around you, and you try desperately not to drown.
