Four best friends return to Cape Cod to vie for the junior lifeguard position in the second instalment of the Summer Lifeguards series.

The Babysitter's Club meets Sunny Side Up—the girls are back to take on the challenge of summer lifeguard tryouts in the perfect summer read featuring female friendship and overcoming the odds!

Jenna's been a star on her swim team, but lately she feels a lot of pressure to be even better. She's convinced it's time to look for something new, so Jenna convinces her friends Piper, Selena, and Ziggy to try out for spots as summer lifeguards.

There's no guarantee they'll get picked for the team. The competition includes the rich and gorgeous Samantha Frankel, handsome but mysterious Hayden, and the coach's daredevil son Luke. Will the girls all make the cut? Or will some be left behind?
