Fourteen-year-old Jade feels like a freak of nature when she finally gets her first period in the mall. It gets worse when she runs into handsome Luke Martin in the feminine products aisle while her dad Googles menstruation on his phone. But freak takes on a whole new meaning when hormones bring on another metamorphosis, complete with scales and a tail. When Jade learns she's inherited her mermaid tendencies from her late mother, it raises the question: if Mom was a mermaid, how did she drown?

"What a fun read! Jade is such a likable heroine, and she pulls us along with us in her adventure as she adjusts to life as a teenager - and a mermaid! Such a real voice and a heartwarming story. Best of all, the fantastic plot twist at the end has me drooling for the sequel already. " — Kip (4 out of 5 stars)

" i liked this book fast paed i finished it in a day cant wait to read the second one. It was funny cute and enjoyable "
" This book was definitely too young for me. I was bored and annoyed with the characters. I bought this book bc it was only $0.99 on Amazon and I figured it would be a fun, easy read. It ended up putting me behind schedule w/the amount of books I want to read this year. This might be a fantastic boom for a 13 year old but I would not recommend it it for an adult who occasionally dabbles in YA for a quick read. "
" Quite adorable. A genuine middle-grade main character. "
" My sister bought the book and I didn't expect much, but once I picked up this book I realized how good it was! It was unexpected by the way Jade is and it's also really funny! I just love the humor! "
" I was really excited to read this book. I did enjoy it. It was pretty funny and I really needed to read a mermaid book so this was a great relief. But it wasn't exactly what I wanted. I felt like it wasn't magical enough. It was also pretty pretictible. I know its a pretty negative review but it just didn't wow me. "
" A little too YA for my tastes, but very original! "
" I would have loved this book as a kid. As it is, it's short, really funny and fun to read. The chocolate mug cake recipe at the end is a nifty bonus. "
" I REALY liked this one "
" Cute story! Easy plot, quick read with an "aawwwww" feeling at the end! "
" It was a super good book...i really recommend it:) "
" I do not read coming of age stories, but I'll follow Jade anywhere! A great read. "
" I loved this book it was wonderful "
" It was okay, nothing too special. It was funny at times, but other than that, I can't say much. "
" I LOVE THIS BOOK.....IT HAS MERMAIDS!!!!!!!! I loved how Jade goes on a wild adventure, how she discovers her, um, fishy secret. I like how Luke was a mer. too! Talk about a twist! I would TOTALLY recommend this book to a friend! "
" this book is just fabulous. I couldn't put it down. took me all night but I finished it! "
" This is adorable! I absolutely loved it. "
" I really liked this one and so didn't see the ending happening and normally I am pretty good at figuring it out. Great book :) "
" I'm not really sure why this book got published, because 1) The dialogue is clumsy and well... bad. and 2) The author kinda overdid it on cliches. Oh boy. What was I thinking when I started reading this book? "
" Really cute book for tweens! This novel has just the right amount of sass to keep those tweens reading on. The voice is really fresh and the story is really cute, but is a little lower aged than what I perfer to read. "
" Jade is having a rough year...she turns 13, loses her mom, gets her period and becomes a mermaid. Fun, quick read for girls who like romance and fantasy. "
" Not at all the type of book I like, very girly but good for tween looking for books dealing with adolescent issues (period, boys, girl frienships..) with fishy flair ...could have been a little shorter but overall okay "
" 4.5 out of 5 stars. I really enjoyed the voice and the world building. The opening scene with the dad in the "Female Aisle" was priceless. :p I can't wait for the sequel! There were a few uses of the Lord's name in vain. "
" Its so cute!! i love the ending i hope there's a second book "
" What a wonderful, charming, cute book! Seriously. Everyone should read it. Oh, and if there isn't a sequel in the works, we may have a problem. :P "
