Summer is more fun at the beach! Follow Jenna, Piper, Selena, and Ziggy in this exciting new series starter about the power of friendship, community, and being grateful for what you have.

The Babysitter's Club meets Sunny Side Up in the first of the Summer Lifeguards series, where four best friends make a splash in a summer full of wholesome beach adventures!

It's been a busy summer on Cape Cod for four best friends, Jenna, Selena, Piper, and Ziggy. They can't wait to become summer lifeguards like the teens they see patrolling the beaches. But will the girls be able to provide the lifeguards the help they need when a hurricane threatens to strike?

As the storm approaches Cape Cod, the friends face several challenges. Jenna was going to compete in the regional swim meet, but will it still take place? Selena tries a self-beauty treatment with unflattering results. Ziggy's mum will not take the hurricane seriously and refuses to evacuate. And Pippa finds herself with an unexpected visitor.
