The Local Rag has two copies of Not A Babe by local author Sarah Johnson to give away.
Set in Raglan, Not A Babe is a young adult novel for teenagers and surf story lovers of all ages. The novel charts the adventures of surfing buddies – Jerri and Frida – as they navigate the challenges of school projects, family secrets and epic surf breaks.
Frida is a sponsored surfer, her eyes firmly on a professional career, but Jerri likes to keep her head down, happy to pass unnoticed. She just about manages, too, until things in the lineup start to get ugly, and she accepts a challenge to surf at a gnarly break down the coast – a decision she quickly comes to regret.
Published in April 2026, Not A Babe is available at Zinnia, the Raglan iHub, Made and other places around town.
