About This Book

Two older siblings and their mischievous younger brother join their parents for a seaside holiday; after a circus parade they visit a shore where ordinary play turns into a sequence of mishaps. Beachcombing and games lead to becoming lost in sand, a drift out to sea, an alarming encounter with a shark, troubles with lobster pots and a sand tunnel, and an unintended stay on a nearby island. Community members and an unexpected stranger arrive to help, and the children's quick thinking and curiosity culminate in a surprising find unearthed from the sand.
