A Fintastic Surprise

From American Girl, meet the WellieWishers, a sweet and silly group of girls who each have the same big, bright wish: to be a good friend. Join them in playful early chapter books, as they step into their colorful garden boots, and get ready for stomping in mud puddles, playing make believe, and helping friendships grow.

"Let's play Mermaids," Camille says one hot day. The WellieWishers imagine an underwater world full of colorful coral reefs and friendly sea creatures. When Camille and Willa discover a sunken ship, they have a great idea for surprising their friends. Then Camille comes up with an even bigger surprise! Will the others help her pull it off?
