About this ebook
Liz and her family are at the beach! Liz loves building sand sculptures, so when she sees a flyer for a sand castle competition, of course she enters. She thinks she’s found a new friend when she meets her neighbor Tommy, who is also competing, but Tommy’s not so nice. He teases Liz about the castle she’s building and he laughs when one of the pieces caves in. Then Liz’s castle gets ruined overnight! It’s the day of the contest judging, and Liz no longer has anything to enter. Did Tommy destroy Liz’s sand castle? Plus, Liz finds a baby octopus that needs help! Will she be able to get the octopus back in the ocean and swimming again?
With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, The Critter Club chapter books are perfect for beginning readers!

About Callie Barkley and Marsha Riti
To the Beach!
Liz Jenkins peered through the glass side of the fish tank. I really wish I were a fish right now!
she said.
She and her friends, Ellie, Amy, and Marion, were at The Critter Club. They were standing around an aquarium filled with colorful fish. The girls were pet sitting the fish for a couple of weeks.
"It would feel great to go for a swim, Ellie agreed.
Do you think fish ever get hot?"
Santa Vista was in the middle of a summer heat wave. Liz would bet it was about ninety-five degrees in Ms. Sullivan’s barn. The barn was the headquarters of The Critter Club, the animal rescue shelter the girls had started.
I forgot how hot it can get here,
Marion said. She had just returned from horseback riding camp. Up in the mountains at camp, it was so cool!
Amy sighed. I’m just glad my writing program is inside,
she said. The classroom at the rec center is super air-conditioned!
Amy sprinkled fish food into the water. The fish raced up to the surface to snatch the crumbs.
