The Floods family go on holiday to the seaside! It isn't just humans who need time off. Wizards do too—and after all the wild adventures the Floods have been through, two weeks at the seaside is exactly what they need. Of course, where the Floods go, trouble is sure to follow. Will Betty use magic to cheat in the sand castle competition? Why is Winchflat stuck in the sand with the tide coming in? Will Mordonna take revenge when she sees animals being mistreated in the circus? One thing's for sure—the sleepy town of Port Folio will never be the same.
