Whether she's spying on tide-pool creatures or splash-crashing through waves on her boogie board, there's no place ten-year-old Kailey loves more than the ocean. She and her best friend Tess feel totally lucky when they find out a resort-mall-movie multi-plex is "Coming Soon!" to their beach. TWELVE movie theaters. Cool shops. A snack bar. Maybe even bathrooms! Then Kailey learns the whole developers plan to haul away the rocky tide pools to make a smooth, sandy beach for tourists. Messing show more with a whole tide pool universe, and all the creatures who live there, is just plain NOT OKAY. Kailey's got a great idea, but she's never tried anything like it before. If she can believe in herself and make it work, there might be hope for the tide pools yet. show less

Kailey loves the beach and loves the tidepools best of all. She’s very excited when she finds out that a new mall/ movie complex/ hotel will be coming to the beach, but is upset when she finds out they’re going to remove the tidepools she loves. She fights to keep the tidepools and wins.
