Making Waves is by Randi Reisfeld and H.B. Gilmour and a book in the Candy Apple Series.
Emily and her friends, LJ and Jenna, are members of the Franklin Lakes Swim Club. When Emily was in third grade, the Ice Queens, a brat pack that goes to their school, stopped being Emily’s friend. Luckily for her, LJ and Jenna stood up for her and the three have been inseparable ever since.
One day at the club, a new girl, Aubrey, comes and is snubbed by the Ice Queens. Emily feels the need to come to her rescue because of what happened to her in the third grade. Aubrey is a military brat but assures the girls that she won’t have to move anymore. Emily and her friends think Aubrey is really cool and charismatic and could be really pretty if she tried.
The girls start to hang out but at time, Aubrey has an excuse that she has to leave. She does this so often and sometimes isn’t at places or events when she says she’ll be there. This causes Jenna and LJ to get aggravated, but every time, Emily sticks up for Aubrey. Why does Aubrey keep disappearing?
This is the first book in the Candy Apple series that I’ve read. I thought the book was ok. I liked that Emily stuck up for Aubrey but did voice at times that it wasn’t right how Aubrey was at times. I will read more of this series, but I’m going to be more selective of the ones I choose to read. I think young girls will like this story though.
