At last! The missing gap of titles I haven’t reviewed yet are reviewed! And look… they’re all scoring high!

When I first reviewed Goofyfoot Gurl Volume 1 way back when I said it was the best thing to come out of Realbuzz Studios next to Serenity (which got a 4 out of 5) and as long as it stuck to it’s guns and remained the same throughout it would continue to be great. Well, it did just that and it’s still greatness.

Volume 2 picks up where Volume 1 ends as Suki brings her gang over for dinner (Now say “Grace”… no, not like that) and lots of weird situations happen (as the topic of Chardonnay’s new upcoming step mom comes ups, especially since said Stepmom shows up with Chardonnay’s dad, and the evil Vikram the Eternally Jealous shows up and causes rifts between himself and Suki’s brother (who may be courting Vik’s sister)…)

But past that and the whole finding Scott a new job that he’ll stick to (even if he does end up working with someone who he can’t stand one tiny bit) we find that any hopes for a Suki/Scott combo may be eternally dashed on the rocks as Suki solves the mystery of the strange watcher on the hill (in the form of a wheelchair bound former surfer phenom nicknamed Zip though that’s info you don’t get until later.

Next up it’s Volume 3, and a plethora of surfing lessons, forgetfulness over locking doors, sand castle building and beach volleyball… oh, and Suki goes see Mr. Zip again (him and his perpetual bad attitude). But that is harmless next to all the ladies hanging out together as Suki’s place trading relationship stories (or just grilling Suki for relationship stories) when her brother heads home dragging Chardonnay’s future step mom with him. Oh, sure, that is so not going to go over well with Chardonnay.

Oh, and at the end there is a small experiment as to whether or not that whole putting someone’s sleeping hand into water will make them have an accident or not.

Over in Volume 4 it’s the Surf & Sand competition at long last (been talked about since Volume 2 as a matter of fact). Just a day at the beach with a little rivalry here, a little worries about Pooja and Suki’s bro getting closer together (not really a worry except for the rabid foaming at the brain dog that is Vikram), a little family togetherness (with Char and her father probably finally finding a way to get back together after the whole marriage announcement thing from Volume 1), and a little competition… that may be broken up tragically when a rogue wave threatens everyone at the Sand & Surf competition.

Remaining consistant throughout, you wouldn’t believe this is a faith based title if we didn’t keep telling you it’s a faith based title. If you’re getting a message from the title it’s done in such a way that it’s delivered without you realizing it. Not as strongly religious as Serenity, it carries it’s own message in it’s own way. Family, friends, love and relationships, and the daily grind both good and ill. Slice of life read that really hit’s the high mark and reads well (and drawn well too). A solid good read worth picking up, regardless of whether your part of Realbuzz Studios’ targeted readers or just a fan of good drama or surfing titles. 5 rogue waves of drama out of 5.
