Welcome to the Have A Great Spray waterpark! There's slides, rides and fried ice cream, but that's not the real attraction . . . Meet Flamingo, Cactus, Donut and Watermelon - four inflatable pool floats who live in an almost-forgotten pool next to the Lost-and-Found office. They may have been left behind by their original owners, but that hasn't stopped them becoming firm (well actually quite squashy) friends. And of course there's Lynn too, the traditional blue Lilo who has been floating around since the park opened. She's been there, done that and got the puncture. But things don't always go to plan when you're filled with air and live in a park packed with pointy things. From Walter S. Lide - the ruthless park owner - to Claws and Paws, the park's stray cats, everyone is out to burst their bubble. With each day bringing a fresh wave of drama, life with the inflatables is always guaranteed to BLOW UP! Featuring TWO stories: Bad Air Day and Mission Un-poppable.
