First pimple. First love. The first... mermaid tail? If she hadn't been so ignorant, she could have foreseen this. But who, in fact, expects to relax in the bath after a busy day of shopping for a swimsuit, and come out of it with a tail and scales? The most. Ridiculous. Moment. In life. Jade soon discovers that she has inherited mermaid traits from her mother. But this discovery raises a serious question: if Mom was a mermaid, how could she have drowned? Jade is determined to find out the truth. But how exactly is a chubby teenage mermaid with aquaphobia going to do it? And will Jade be able to tell her secret to Cory's best friend and crush - Luke? This summer promises to be much more interesting... For Lauren, who is always laughing in all sorts of places.
