Summer's calling, so Vampirina's family takes a trip to the beach, where there are new games to play and friends to meet in this sweet addition to the Vampirina Ballerina series. Read the books that inspired the hit Disney Junior series!

When the summer moon is full, a beach trip is an epic way to spend the night. With her signature poise, Vampirina and her clan gear up for a festive time at the beach. Keeping her ballet lessons in mind, Vampirina demi-pliés on a surfboard, leaps for a volleyball, and finishes each competition with style, even if she doesn't always come out on top.

Readers will shout "Brava!" for this third gracefully ghoulish picture book by duo Anne Marie Pace and LeUyen Pham.
