A Mermaid in Middle Grade 3



Dive into a magical undersea adventure with middle school mermaid, Brynn Finley!

An unhealthy coral reef and pollution in the ocean. An entire undersea town turned upside-down. Can Brynn Finley solve Fulgent's latest mystery and get to the Jay Barracuda and the Killer Whales concert before Phaedra the sea witch turns her into a lowly sea slug?

When a beautiful and talented young mermaid named Priscilla Banks moves to Fulgent, everything starts going wrong for mermaid Brynn Finley. Her best friend ignores her, the sea witch is set free, and the seafolk of Fulgent are acting very strangely. As Brynn searches for clues, she learns a lot about friendship and settling differences, but time is running out—the sea witch has another dastardly and disgusting scheme to rid the oceans of humans. Soon the entire town is chasing Brynn, and her only friend is her trusty pet sea turtle!

Educational topics: Ocean and marine life, environmental conservation, mindfulness, envy and jealousy, friendship problems, bullying, middle school, and interpersonal skills.
