Jade begins her summer confused. Yes, there's that whole
"will this be a leg-day or a tail-day" kind of confusion, but Jade's
got even bigger problems: it's been three weeks since Mom returned to the ocean
with no news of her whereabouts. Plus, it's been twenty-one days since Jade
first kissed her mer-boy Luke and now-nothing.
Will Mom find the enchanted tidal pool that will allow her to become human? And why is Luke acting so weird?
The SEAquel to Helene Boudreau's critically acclaimed Real Mermaids Don't Wear Toe Rings is as energetic and fresh as a salty sea breeze.

My Thoughts
A fun-loving read that any tween or pre-teen would
love! Jade is obsessing over her first
kiss, since Luke has been out of town.
She gets mad when she realizes he is back and he hadn’t called. Unlike most girls Jade lets Luke in on her
anger- only to be told that his mommy is in the hospital. Talk about embarrassing.
Even more embarrassing is having to talk about these issues
with just her dad. Jade’s mom is missing
and they are doing everything possible to get her back. That coupled with an evil company trying to
build over the natural tidal pool, a very important tidal pool to all mermaids
near and far. It allows them to change
back into two legged people. One cannot help but wonder what new sorrow will
darken Jade’s door.
Boudreau pens teen anguish very well, pairing it with
situations that seem impossible to overcome.
The heroine and her Scooby like crew never gives up though. It is amazing how much more confident one is
when one has a group of friends that believe in them. It is even more amazing what one angry gal,
one data phone and Facebook can accomplish.
The girls organize a demonstration organized literally overnight.
A playful read that will entertain you during that interval
between more highly anticipated reads.
My Rating 3 stars out of 5
