Fireworks! — Elizabeth Doyle Carey

Brought to you by the writers of the best-selling CUPCAKE DIARIES series… The new JUNIOR LIFEGUARDS series is wholesome summer fun for young YA readers!

Junior Lifeguard squad members Jenna, Selena, Piper, and Ziggy strive and hustle during beach training, where mistakes can mean life or death. But off-duty hijinx, romance, and the highs and lows of friendship keep this summery series popping.

In FIREWORKS, Ziggy Bloom struggles with her politics versus those of program director Bud Slater, and learns that in their love of the beach, they are actually more alike than different. Ziggy's romance with Jack Lee is simmering, with the water as their common ground.

Join the girls of the Junior Lifeguards as they continue their summery adventures on Cape Cod, where ice cream, miniature golf, and sand-between-your-toes combine with crushes and life skills for fun beachfront escapades!

Junior Lifeguards are #brave and #strong. Join the squad!
