From the author of Lost Boy comes a beautiful
historical fairy tale about a mermaid who leaves the sea,
only to become the star attraction of history's greatest
showman.
Once there was a mermaid called Amelia
who could never be content in the sea, a mermaid who longed
to know all the world and all its wonders, and so she came
to live on land.
Once there was a man called P. T.
Barnum, a man who longed to make his fortune by selling the
wondrous and miraculous, and there is nothing more
miraculous than a real mermaid.
Amelia agrees to play
the mermaid for Barnum and walk among men in their world,
believing she can leave anytime she likes. But Barnum has
never given up a money-making scheme in his life, and he's
determined to hold on to his mermaid.
