This book is about a girl named Emily. She is in seventh grade and doesn’t have any best friends. The girl who she might have on her list of best friends is Julia but it looks like she wants to be friends with Mandy. Emily lives in the port, on a boat. The boat is called The King of the Sea.
But everyone has a secret and it all started on the first day of swim class at Bridgeport high. "Who here is confident enough to swim alone?" the swim instructor had asked. Half the class raised their hands. He told them to go to the shallow end. Emily had never swum before. You would have thought she could, for she lived on a boat but that's a different story. She went to the clump of kids moving to the shallow end and watched as they did handstands and such. She never swam before, but somehow she knew she could do it. The water looked so beautiful there.
She plunged in, and swam like a fish. The silence of the water was calming. But then it happened. Her legs became a block of stone and she couldn't move. She did some research and finally figured it out.
She was a mermaid.
i liked this book because it was really intresting and it had a lot of suspense. For those of you who like fantasies, this is definetly a book for you!
