Reach for this book when your child starts to prioritize logic and facts so heavily that they begin to lose their sense of wonder. If you have a young scientist who dismisses anything they cannot see under a microscope, this story provides a beautiful bridge between the empirical and the magical. Ten-year-old Poppy is a dedicated researcher who believes in evidence, but her world is turned upside down when she encounters a mermaid that defies every textbook she has ever read. It is a gentle, contemporary fantasy that addresses the developmental shift from childhood play to analytical thinking. It encourages middle-grade readers to understand that being smart does not mean closing your mind to the possibilities of the unknown. The story is emotionally grounded, focusing on the trust required to believe in the impossible and the courage to share those beliefs with friends.
