Secretly though, Yasmin is worried that people will think she’s weird for carrying a toy llama around, and maybe it isn’t the best idea for Levi to come with her . . .
But with a family seaside holiday promising lots of beachside thrills to distract her, Yasmin is ready to have fun with Levi and her (human) best friend Ezra.
Except something’s up with Yasmin’s cousin Omar and soon, finding out what – turns out to be one of Yasmin and Levi’s toughest missions yet.
