At the bustling Palm Pavilion Hotel, Chris works as a staff babysitter for the hotel’s children, navigating the demands of her job and the hotel’s lively atmosphere. When an injured dolphin is brought to the hotel’s pool, Chris steps in to help, discovering her compassion extends beyond the children she cares for. Seeking a fresh image to attract the hotel’s handsome pool boy, Chris faces the challenges of self-acceptance and reinvention. Through humorous mishaps and heartfelt moments, she learns that confidence comes from within, not from appearances. Set in a vibrant hotel world with motifs of hotels, motels, and social spaces like bars, the story offers a lighthearted adventure for young readers.
