The author of "The Lightning Catcher" has returned with an exhilarating, imaginative, and heartfelt middle-grade novel that will captivate fans of "The Girl Who Stole an Elephant" and "The Shark Caller." Summer was supposed to be Ginika's time for fun, friends, and fairs. However, she has been sent to live at her grandparents' dead-end seaside boarding house, feeling abandoned and heartbroken by missing out on everything she loves back home.

That is until she meets Peri, a unique creature who leaps and dives through the water like a dolphin and talks like a burst of bubbles. He is not exactly a mermaid, but he is something Ginika has never seen before. Unlike Ginika, who craves independence, Peri loves his freedom. As Ginika shows Peri her world, she begins to feel liberated and free. They don't need anyone else when they have each other.

However, as they immerse themselves in the human world, the lights and noise start to change Peri. When things spiral out of control, Ginika must be the bravest she has ever been to face her fears and make the hardest decision of her life.

Join Ginika and Peri on an unforgettable adventure as they dive beneath the waves and walk the lands that will take them into each other's worlds. This life-changing friendship will leave a lasting impact on both of them.
