Now, P.T. and Gloria have to juggle a million things at once. Can they manage the chaotic new restaurant, build a championship-winning sandcastle, and solve the mystery of the stolen crown before Clara takes the fall? Dive into the hilarious, sun-soaked hijinks of this wild middle-grade adventure where the laughs never stop and the mysteries keep you guessing!
