Unleash the Magic of Summer With Maybe a Mermaid
Dive into an extraordinary summer adventure with our eleven-year-old protagonist, Anthoni Gillis. Not one to give into fantasies of fairies and unicorns, Anthoni is a comic-book girl through and through.
So when her mom brings her to Thunder Lake for a summer at the Showboat Resort, she doesn't believe the local rumors about the Boulay Mermaid.
Anthoni has bigger fish to fry. She's always wanted a True Blue Friend. But it's been hard to find one, since for the past five years she's been bouncing from town to town, helping her mother sell Beauty & the Bee cosmetic products to keep them both afloat. This summer will be different, though. Anthoni has a plan--a foolproof checklist for making lifelong friends! There won't be any maybe s this time.
Armed with a foolproof checklist, she is determined that this summer won't be filled with maybes. Yet, as she finds her mother's truths stretching thin and her own resolve tested, she's faced with a crucial decision: stick diligently to her plan or immerse herself in an ocean of possibilities.
Maybe a Mermaid is a vibrant, captivating debut from Josephine Cameron that raises timeless questions about truth, lies, and the hope that grows between them.
"Eleven-year-old Anthoni Gillis is not the kind of kid who believes in fairies, unicorns, or even the word "maybe." She's more of a comic-books girl. So when her mom brings her to Thunder Lake for a summer at the Showboat Resort, she doesn't believe the local rumors about the Boulay Mermaid. Anthoni has bigger fish to fry. She's always wanted a True Blue Friend. But it's been hard to find one, since for the past five years she's been bouncing from town to town, helping her mother sell Beauty & the Bee cosmetic products to keep them both afloat. This summer will be different, though. Anthoni has a plan--a foolproof checklist for making lifelong friends! There won't be any maybes this time. But as she grows entangled in local gossip, and her mother stretches the truth, Anthoni must decide if she'll "stick to the plan," like always, or dive into a summer full of extraordinary possibilities."--Page [2] of cover.
