When a hurricane threatens to harm the underwater homes of the
merpeople, it is up to India Finch, a part-human/part-mermaid teenager,
to warn her ocean friends. The mer decide to seek calmer waters, and as
they travel, they are attacked by a giant squid, with India at the
center of harm's way. Gravely injured, India depends on the merfolks'
willingness to risk their own safety to get her ashore where her
injuries can be treated. Will the prejudice many mer hold against humans
leave India at the end of her journey? Reader tools include a glossary
and discussion questions in this Hi-Lo novel for reluctant and
struggling readers.
