The Mermaid's Tale

When young Chip Woodward sees his sister’s small sailboat nearly run over a mermaid, he can hardly believe his eyes! Who will believe he has seen a mermaid—in the lake? This mystery baffles Chip, his older sister Lynna, and their friend Jock Avery from the beginning. What they learn about the mermaid’s presence in their lake as the mystery unfolds turns out to be a fun, educational adventure for readers.

In their second summer adventure mystery for children, mother and son writing team Laura and Will Wharton tempt and tease readers with page-turning cliff hangers and clues that will keep readers engaged until the end. As in the first book, there is a kid-friendly project, an interview with a real mermaid, and delicious and fun recipes from the characters’ tables.
