Lola dreams of building the perfect sandcastle, complete with a towering spire and sea glass for mermaid signals. But the crowded beach presents challenges—a boy steps on her creation, and a toddler digs too close. Undeterred, Lola turns these mishaps into opportunities, recruiting her accidental helpers to build walls and dig moats. As her sandcastle grows, so does her circle of friends. Yet, the looming threat of a wave could wash away their hard work. Can Lola and her newfound team save the mermaids' castle from the sea's embrace?
Lola is building her dream sandcastle—one with a tall, tall tower and sea glass that sends signals to mermaids. But the beach is crowded, and soon enough, a boy steps on her castle. Not to worry! Lola recruits him to build a wall. When a toddler with a bulldozer starts digging too close the walls, Lola decides he can be in charge of digging the moat. As the sandcastle grows, so does Lola’s friendly group of helpers. There’s only one thing that Lola doesn’t want near the sandcastle: a wave! Will the new friends be able to salvage the mermaids’ castle when their hard work is washed away?

“I love that this story features a main character that includes others and is not territorial over "her" stuff.”
