Fred the Mermaid has just found a perfect rental on the beach, and the ink is barely dry on the lease agreement before uninvited guests start filling her empty bedrooms. First to arrive is best friend Jonas, bursting with wedding plans in which Fred, as best man, must participate. Not far behind are the two men in Fred's life, Thomas and Prince Artur. That's nothing, however, to the unexpected arrival of her real father, Farrem, back from his exile years ago for plotting treason against the Undersea Folk.

Farrem is eager to get to know his daughter, and Fred is more than a bit curious about the man who sired her. There's trouble brewing with Farrem's arrival, potentially threatening Fred's engagement (being the child of the traitor of your people can be tough to overcome). Worse still, something is going on with the Undersea Folk. Several have dropped off King Mekkam's radar and rumor of government involvement in their disappearance forces Thomas to approach is estranged father for assistance. What they discover threatens the very existence of the entire undersea kingdom.

FISH OUT OF WATER by MaryJanice Davidson is the pleasing conclusion to the Fred the Mermaid trilogy. Filled with the author's typical humor, readers will delight in Fred's latest adventures from cake tasting with Jonas to deciding between two men and ferreting out the traitor in their midst. Full of laugh-out-loud moments, FISH OUT OF WATER is pure escapist entertainment!
