Newcomer Kessler anchors her fantasy in the nitty-gritty of adolescence: Emily bests a bully who comes close to guessing her secret, and she finds a best friend in Shona, a mermaid she meets during her nightly swims. At night, she sneaks from the boat where she lives with her mother to explore the undersea world, and unravel the mystery of her genetics-which involves her long-missing, never-discussed father.
