The "No Lifeguard" Room Linda Yianolatos

While having fun, a valuable lesson is learned in the fifth book of the "Crystal City" series. Carmella and Sam, both eight years old, and Max who is six years old, are best friends who just happen to be cousins. With the help of an unlikely friend who can fly, they go up above the clouds to a city made of crystals. This is the fifth adventure the children have had in Crystal City. On this visit, their grandmother joins them. At the Orange building, they are met by a beautiful lady who is very wise and appears to be surrounded by white light. She takes them to a room with the words "No Lifeguards" painted on the door. Stepping through the doorway, Carmella, Sam, Max and their grandmother see a sandy beach and a beautiful ocean. Diving deep to the ocean's floor, their grandmother reunites with some old friends and the children make some new ones. When the children and parents are ready to leave, the beautiful lady imparts a bit of wisdom to the children about the lesson they learned on their latest adventure to Crystal City.
