LT’S SHELLY SIREN’S FIRST DAY at Trident Academy, and she’s nervous from the top of her head to the tip of her sparkling mermaid tail. Everyone there is so smart and pretty. Will she stick out like a giant jellyfish or fit in with the rest of the mergirls and merboys?
At first Shelly and her best friend, Echo, have lots of fun eating lunch together, trying to make very grumpy Mr. Fangtooth smile, and joining after-school clubs. But when they have a big argument, another classmate—the trouble-making Pearl—comes between them, and Shelly wonders if she and Echo will ever be able to fix their friendship!
