Friendship, Courage & All-You-Can-Eat NachosBella wants one thing this summer: a pass to Shark Park. But first, she needs to earn an A in science—and after getting a D- on her last test, that dream is slipping away fast.
Now her only chance is to win the school science fair with an exciting glowing crystal experiment. But standing in front of judges, classmates, and all that pressure is scarier than the biggest water slide at Shark Park.
With the help of her loyal best friend, Buddy—and his dragon-sized appetite for nachos—Bella discovers that science is about more than experiments. It’s about courage, perseverance, problem-solving, and believing in yourself.
With her loyal best friend Buddy by her side—and plenty of nachos for encouragement—Bella discovers that mistakes are part of learning, challenges help us grow, and believing in yourself can lead to amazing results.
