Kaia lives with her family near the California beach and enjoys movie-making, makeup, and special effects that transform friends into merfolk and other fantastical creatures.

When her great-grandfather, Tatang, says he plans to return to the Philippines, Kaia hopes a contest win will persuade him to stay. Her summer also includes adventures with him.
