Really enjoyed this trip down memory lane. I grew up watching reruns of the Gidget movies in the 70s and it wasn't until recently I realized they'd been based on a real girl.
Published in 1957 and written by the real Gidget's Dad (even though the story is first person and told by her), the book gives a detailed glimpse into the Malibu surf culture at that time.
For a book over 50 years old, it really held my interest. Thinking it'd be a great story for teens and their mom's to read in conjunction, possibly talk about. Then make popcorn & watch the movies!
