At first I thought the only thing I had to look forward to this summer was a sunburn. Then I found out that Bret Sommerfield, the guy I've had a crush on forever, would be working at the sand castle-building contest our town was having. I immediately signed up.

The only problem-if you could call it a problem-was a gorgeous Californian named Jack. He was showing a lot of interest in me and was always hanging around. Bret couldn't get within 10 feet of me.

About the author

Carol J. Perry

38 books780 followers
Carol J. Perry is the author of the Witch City Mystery series and the Haunted Haven series, both from Kensington Publishers. The Witch City stories take place in the magical city of Salem, Massachusetts--the "Witch City." Carol was actually born in Salem (on Halloween eve!) and knows the city well. The Haunted Haven books take place in Carol's adopted home state of Florida. As an experienced travel writer for magazines and newspapers, Carol knows her way around the Sunshine State too. The Salem books are based of course on a real city but Haven, Florida is made up of bits and pieces of some of the Sunshine State's charming older towns--bypassed by the theme parks. Readers of the Witch City books have come to know O'Ryan, a most remarkable cat. The new series introduces Finn, a lovable Golden Retriever.
Carol lives in the Tampa Bay area of Florida with her husband Dan.

Librarian’s note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

Backcover: At first I thought the only thing I have to look forward to this summer was a sunburn. Then I found out that Bret Sommerfield, the guy I've had a crush on forever, would be working at the sand castle-building contest our town was having. I immediately signed up.
The only problem - if you could call it a problem - was a gorgeous Californian named Jack. He was showing a lot of interest in me and was always hanging around. Bret couldn't get within 10 feet of me. My friends would think I was crazy if I put Jack off. But what could I do? I began to think that I was . . . Going Overboard.
This book was also known as Sand Castle Summer. It was my second teen romance book that was really fun to read.
