Liz and the Sand Castle Contest (Bound for Schools & Libraries)
Callie Barkley
Brief Description: As her friends in the Critter Club animal shelter care for colorful aquarium fish, second-grader Liz and her family spend a long weekend at the beach, where Liz rescues a baby octopus and competes with an unfriendly young neighbor in a sand castle contest. Publisher Marketing: Liz deals with some "un"friendly competition at the beach and tries to rescue a baby octopus in the eleventh book of The Critter Club series. 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!
