I dedicate this book to Hailey, who was always by my side if I ever needed help or just a little extra love.

Woohoo! Summer is finally here! Max the dog wore his sunglasses, since the sun was shining bright! He couldn't wait to explore the new Summer Island!

Soon, Max met two new dogs that looked like no other he had ever seen! One of them was a Sunshine Dog named Sunny, and the other was an English Sheepdog named Lucas. Lucas then told Max to wear sunscreen out on the island. Since he wouldn't want to end up like Sarah, the sunburnt dog!

Max was getting bored, so he decided he was going to try out some fun summer games set up! He first met Chad, who was about to take him jet-skiing for the first time! Max was very excited.

Jet-skiing was super fun. Max was speeding across the ocean! Though, he had to watch out for fish and rocks. Which was very tough! Max thought nothing could be more fun than this!

Max was about to go find another summer game to play, when he spotted a kind-looking dog. Her name was Sally, and she had lost her seashells in the sand! Max knew how it felt to lose something. Just a few days earlier, he had lost his favorite ball! He was thanked for helping her, and he decided to take a short break since it was getting super hot.

Suddenly, an ice cream truck drove into Summer Island!

Max went up to the window and asked Mya, the ice cream truck dog, if he could get a chocolate ice cream! It was super delicious and refreshing!

Hi there Max!

Max was about to go find someone else to play with, when he spotted the sunburnt dog, Sarah! He approached her and saw that she had so many cuts; a band-aid covering one of them!

It turns out Sarah was spending so long trying to catch crabs, and in the process she got many cuts and forgot to put on sunscreen! Max knew he had to help.

Once I get free, I'm going to pinch everything!

Turns out catching crabs was much harder than he thought. Once you think you've got them, they pinch you and shimmy away! But soon enough, Max caught one with his own two bare paws! It was much easier to catch the rest of the crabs afterwards. He gave them back to the thankful dog, Sarah. Then, she him if he wanted to watch fireworks when night fell!
