EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED Normally, life in a small town can be dull. But not in Live Oak. Candace is not your typical third grader- or your typical girl for that matter. But she does love to figure out puzzles and mysteries! Her best friend, Arnold, isn't like other boys their age either, but his quirky ways make him the perfect sidekick who always keeps things interesting. School's done and summer's just begun! Li'l Miss Live Oak Pageant- check! Sleepover at Marysa's- check! Phantom of the Fall Musical Auditions - in just a few days! Summer vacation is in full swing and off to the perfect start! Fun-in-the-sun-filled days at Riverfront Park beach, bike rides, musical rehearsals. But that doesn't mean Candace is not solving problems for her Live Oak friends; Arnold's nonstop rehearsals for his trophy-worthy role of The Phantom...Cheryl's case of puppy-love... Marysa's mysterious new neighbors already creating problems... Magnolia Nash's spirit appearing at musical rehearsals... Wait, what?! To complicate things, Elvis, the new kid in town is shining an intense megawatt spotlight from an upstairs bedroom window straight into Marysa's room affecting her sleep. Every.Single.Night. Not a great way to make new friends in a new town. While on an undercover stakeout, Operation Save Marysa's Sleep only leaves Candace and her friends with more questions than answers. She must go undercover to befriend Elvis and discover his reason behind the nightly light show that just might make Marysa come unglued. She ends up getting more than she bargained for. No friend gets left behind! With Arnold by her side, anything's possible. But Candace, Arnold, and Dream Team Six have their work cut out for them to save Marysa's sleep and help their new friend Elvis keep away his monsters. Not to mention making sure nothing gets in the way of The Phantom of the Fall Musical opening up on time. For Candace, there's no other option. The show must go on!
