About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like an outsider within their own family or social circle, particularly if they are struggling to find where their unique talents fit into traditional expectations. It is a perfect choice for the creative child who feels more comfortable in the world of fandoms and hobbies than in the spotlight of social status. The story follows Princess Lana, a mermaid who prefers ancient mythology and investigative puzzles to the royal duties expected of a future crown princess. When she discovers a mystery involving a shipwreck and sea dragons, she must rely on her intellect and quirky interests to save her kingdom. This mystery celebrates self-confidence and the importance of staying true to oneself while navigating the pressure of family legacy. Ideal for readers aged 8 to 12, it offers a refreshing take on the mermaid trope by focusing on brains and bravery over beauty.
