Thank you to Penguin Random House for the physical copy in exchange for my honest review.

Beach Battle Blowout was another quick and fun read from Grabenstein. He manages to fit several different life lessons into every book and make them fun and family-oriented along the way.

I did find myself enjoying this one more than the previous book in this series. This one was more focused on the hotel itself and the fun that P.T. was able to create at it to keep the guests entertained.

Overall this is a great read for any middle grader or any age really. Its some good family-friendly fun!
