When a girl runs away from the circus…
For all her sixteen years, Pearl Poseidon has been a fish out of water. A freak on display for her adoptive parents’ profit. Running away from her horrible life, she craves one thing—anonymity. But when she saves a small boy from drowning she exposes herself and her mutant abilities to Chase, a budding investigative reporter.
Now, he has questions. And so do the police.
Once Pearl discovers her secret identity, she learns she’s part of a larger war between battling Atlanteans. A battle that will decide who rules the oceans. A battle raging between evil and her true family. Will she find a way to use her powers in time to save a kingdom she never knew existed?

A wonderfully written book, I sympathize with Pearl for wanting to feel loved, and like she belongs. Through her struggles, you are able to see her grow beyond her own self-image. Although she feels like she’s a freak, there is so much more to her.
Everyone wants to belong, to feel loved. Pearl has only known life in the circus, being used as an attraction to drive ticket sales. But she decides to take her fate into her own hands. Sixteen, and on her own, she follows her heart to Mermaid Beach, where, in her attempts of hiding, she finds her first true friend, and true love. A journey of not only self-discovery, but the hopes of finding her true family, Pearl learns not all things are what they seem, including herself.
