About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a school challenge that feels a bit too big for them to handle or if they are a reluctant reader who needs a high-action win. It is perfect for children who are navigating social cliques or school hierarchies and feel like they need a secret source of strength to stand up for what is right. The story follows Halo McNightly, a girl who uses magical candy to transform into marine life and stop a dangerous mermaid preying on the school's swim team. While the plot is fantastical, the emotional core focuses on bravery, using one's unique talents, and the importance of looking beneath the surface of a problem. It is a safe, fast-paced adventure for the middle elementary years that empowers children to see themselves as the heroes of their own school environment.
