In "Isabella's Above-Ground Pool" by Maryann Cocca-Leffler, young Isabella dreams of having a pool just like her friends, who all have flashy in-ground pools. Her summer takes a turn when her family decides to get an above-ground pool instead. Although initially disappointed, Isabella learns to embrace the joy of her new pool and makes unforgettable memories with her friends and family.
