The Curlytops at Sunset Beach by Howard Roger Garis

The Curlytops at Sunset Beach follows Janet, Ted, and their little brother William, nicknamed Trouble, as their sunny family life turns into one seaside adventure after another. From circus parades and peanut-fueled mishaps to fishing boats, sharks, and sudden rescues, the Martin children's curiosity keeps leading them straight into excitement. Their teasing, affectionate banter reveals a close-knit household where humor and danger often arrive together. Trouble's fascination with elephants nearly gets him trampled at the circus, but a mysterious white-haired stranger saves him in time. That same outing brings the Martins into contact with Mr. and Mrs. Keller, old friends of Uncle Toby, and opens the way to a shared vacation at Sunset Beach. There, the children are drawn to the bustling harbor, where Ted accidentally ends up aboard a fishing boat and is carried out to sea. As Janet worries on shore, Ted discovers life among the fishermen just as a shark appears in the nets, turning a simple beach holiday into a lively, suspenseful children's adventure full of warmth, humor, and close calls.
