Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: Cass has always loved the ocean. Though she lives with her eccentric mother in a rundown camper on a Floridian beach, the water has always seemed to be her first home. But between picking up her mother's missed shifts at the diner, navigating high school friend drama and boy trouble, and trying to fit in when her strangeness is obvious at a glance, Cass can't help but be a realist. Circumstances have forced her to mature before her time. But also...mermaids might actually be real? After a late-night swim reveals more about herself than she ever could have imagined, Cass is set on a path that exposes ancient secrets and introduces mythical responsibilities. Protecting this new way of life comes with a high level of risk, even with the support of her mother. But with the normal stress of being a teen and the extra stress of being a mythical creature, familial bonds will be strained, and figures from her past might spell the end to Cass's life by the sea.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Cass lives in a camper van with her eccentric mother on the beach, afraid to be different, though she knows already that she is. This is a story about a mother and daughter, the risks that must be taken to protect ancient secrets, and an evolution of familial love. It is also about mythical creatures that live among us - not mermaids, since Cass's mother is quick to state that she is "No one's maid," but about Girls of the Ocean. The super hero women and girls tasked with protecting the water and the people in them.
