When the summer moon is full a beach trip is an epic way to spend the night. With her
signature poise Vampirina and her clan gear up for a festive time at the beach. Keeping her
ballet lessons in mind Vampirina demi-pliés on a surfboard leaps for a volleyball and
finishes each competition with style even if she doesn't always come out on top. Readers will
