Real Mermaids Don't Wear Toe Rings

Fourteen-year-old Jade feels like a freak of nature when she finally gets her first period in the mall. It gets worse when she runs into handsome Luke Martin in the feminine products aisle while her dad Googles menstruation on his phone. But freak takes on a whole new meaning when hormones bring on another metamorphosis, complete with scales and a tail. When Jade learns she's inherited her mermaid tendencies from her late mother, it raises the question: if Mom was a mermaid, how did she drown?
