Miranda spends part of the summer on Selkie Island, off the Georgia coast, after her mother inherits their family home. Saturated by legends about mermaids and sea creatures, rational Miranda refuses to believe any of the myths until she meets a mysterious local boy on Siren Beach and uncovers a family secret. Lush descriptions capture the beauty and magic of the setting.
