About this listen

 Georgie, Kia, Micki and Ace are thrown together at an elite girls' surfing camp. They're not friends straight away - there's jealousy, insecurity, secrets and lies to deal with first. Yet they soon realise that they need to stick together, because their friendship brings out the best in each of them. But will they all make the grade?©2007 J.C. Burke (P)2008 Bolinda Publishing Growing Up & Facts of Life Literature & Fiction Sports & Outdoors

Editorial reviews

Four very different girls. Three short surf camp weeks. One lifetime-changing summer.

Ace, Georgie, Kia, and Micki, elite surfers all, are assigned to the Starfish Cabin. From the outside their lives may look great, but that is not how they feel. Edwina Wren effectively establishes the girls as distinct individuals, an important achievement in a story told through alternating chapters from each of their viewpoints as jealousy, insecurity, secrets, and lies are stripped away. The bickering turns to laughter and one’s enemy becomes the foe of all of them as girls who short weeks before were mostly strangers, end camp bonded as "sisters".

Critic Reviews

"Georgie cannot decide if she wants to be a surfer or a soccer star; Kia wants her dad to notice her instead of Micki and has a secret that may destroy her; Ace is already a star but has trouble focusing amid boy trouble; and Micki is just glad to be away from her broken home. Four girls and three weeks at an elite surfing camp make for a story full of drama, jealousies, shared secrets, and new friendship. Starfish Sisters is a unique and touching story, brought to life by narrator Edwina Wren, whose easy Australian accent gives each character heart. A glossary would have been helpful for the unfamiliar surfer vocabulary, but Burke's world comes alive in Wren's bright voice. Many teens will be grateful for the end chapter with information about self-harming and how to protect oneself from its pervasive influence." (AudioFile Magazine)
