Summer’s picnic is overrun by hungry creatures and a game of catch ends when the ball pops.
Summer’s friends suggest building a giant sandcastle as a way to relax after the earlier problems.
The large wave arrives while the friends are absorbed in play, creating a possible moment of suspense.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
