(3) 1-3 Stepping Stone series. Illustrated by Patricia Castelao. Lindy Michaels is not happy about moving from Chicago to her family's new oceanfront home in South Carolina. But when she helps save mermaids Sealily and Coral during a bad rainstorm, her attitude changes. Later the mermaids return the favor, sealing the trio's new friendship. This fantastical chapter book includes a nice mix of humor and action paired with cheerful black-and-white illustrations.
