Once Lynette arrives, though, Jeremy has to admit that he enjoys the company. She’s stuck in a depression after her mother’s recent drowning, and she doesn’t want to go anywhere near the ocean. To lift Lynette’s spirits, Jeremy invents the Glits, magical creatures who grant wishes. Jeremy and Lynette spend their days building elaborate sand castles for the Glits and becoming close friends, but as summer draws to a close, Jeremy worries about what will happen to Lynette when he’s no longer at her side.
A little touch of magic and a dose of “joy fizz” from the Glits just might solve Lynette’s problems and restore this sullen girl to her laughing, playful self.
