Dig deep and trust your instincts!

Piper is surprised to find how much she likes being a Junior Lifeguard, except for one thing: she's still nervous about being in just a bathing suit in public. Will her self-consciousness get in the way of being able to do her job? And what of her ability to trust her instincts and call things as she
sees them?

Meanwhile, Pipers trying to make money and learns the hard way that certain jobs (and co-workers) are not for her. Add to this the revelation that senior guards aren't all they're cracked up to be, plus the distraction of adorable Luke Slater, and Piper's got a lot on her plate. Will she be too self-conscious or distracted to spot the real threats on the beach? Read it and find out!

(Created by Elizabeth Doyle Carey, written by Tracey West & Katherine Noll)

How far will you go to stand up for what's right?

Ziggy Bloom is not a natural Junior Lifeguard. She's not even much of a swimmer! But she loves the beach and its creatures and the beauty of it all, and sees herself as a guard of all the life on the beach. Her work with the endangered nesting Plovers brings her into direct conflict with Bud Slater in this story, as the Junior squad plans their Fourth of July celebration on the beach.

Will Ziggy choose the environment over the Lifeguard crew? And if so, what price will she pay?
