A different take on being a teen mermaid
Tempest Maguire wants nothing more than to surf the killer
waves near her California home; continue her steady
relationship with her boyfriend, Mark; and take care of her
brothers and surfer dad. But Tempest is half mermaid, and as
her seventeenth birthday approaches, she will have to decide
whether to remain on land or give herself to the ocean like
her mother. The pull of the water becomes as insistent as her attraction
to Kai, a gorgeous surfer whose uncanny abilities hint at an
otherworldly identity as well. And when Tempest does finally
give in to the water's temptation and enters a fantastical
underwater world, she finds that a larger destiny awaits
her—and that the entire ocean's future hangs in the balance.
