Crowe, Ellie. Surfer of the Century. Illustrated by: Richard Waldrep. Lee & Low Books: 2007. ISBN: 978-1-5843-0276-6.This book is about a young man that is a tremendous surfer that can surf almost any wave. He gets put into a 100 yard swim competition that he wins, because of his fast stroking arms and legs. He travels to many other competitions and faces his most difficult competition. Will he win or not? My Opinion of this book is that it has a great detail and smart choices of words. The painting show shadows and adds great detail to the story. I recommend this book for grades 5th through 8th. This book would be great for people who are interested in swimming.
