(4) 4-6 Best friends Hailey and Claire are spending their last summer together at the defunct Capri Beach Club before Claire moves away. When a storm washes a mermaid named Aquamarine into the pool, the friends help her through a brief romance and back into the sea. The author's attempted portentous mood results in a stiff, distant tone, but the story moves along nicely.
