Series: A Mermaid in Middle School

A young mermaid. A witch out for revenge. Can Brynn Finley become a sea guardian and help humans in danger when she's just started the sixth grade?

Brynn is the only mermaid in school still struggling to learn magic. She can't become a guardian of the ocean, like her parents, until she unlocks the secret to magic spells. On her quest to discover her gifts, Brynn and her best friend meet a lovable sea turtle, a pair of selkie sisters, and Phaedra--the great and terrible sea witch whose power threatens the entire reef.

Soon, Brynn finds herself in over her head. She'll have to learn to be honest, ask for help, trust her heart, and follow the merfolk oath to prove that even a young mermaid can shine with golden strength.
