It's the SEQUEL to FLIPPING THE SCALES! If you haven't read that one yet, what are you waiting for?
- - - - -
Meredith, Marina, and Hailey's wildest dreams could be coming true.
Two weeks in the ocean changed Meredith's life and career goal. Now studying marine biology, she lands a summer internship at a local aquarium. Her aquatic intuition impresses her mentor, but how would the mermaids feel about holding fish captive in the name of science?
Marina has returned ashore to seek out her missing mother. A curious and cryptic painting leads to other clues, but the search through her mother's past reveals more questions than answers. Could her parents have left the ocean harboring a deep, dark secret?
Meanwhile, Hailey keeps Marina's tail safe and lives her lifelong dream to be a real mermaid. The experience is exhilarating, until the leader of the school suspects she is a human. If she gets caught, would it leave her friend forever marooned on land?
When second-guessing, mystery, and danger threaten to sink their dreams, will they skip out? Or will they work together and swim through the rough waters ahead?

Unexpected (Editing)
-- COMPLETED AND EDITING -- Nicole Shipton c. 2013 Teenage Michaela was a simple girl with an everyday life living in sunny California, excited about her sixteenth birthday party; a chance to get away from her strict parents for just a few hours. The quick surf Michaela and her sister Jess went on before the guests were due to arrive was meant to relax her, but to say it did the opposite would be an understatement. That surf turned Michaela's life around. Within a week, she had sprouted a tail, along with her sister. Michaela's parents weren't much help, leaving her and Jess to sort through the mess alone. When their mother and father finally took them to their home in the ocean, the two girls were kidnapped. One of the last remaining sea witches, a malicious woman named Krella, brought Michaela, Jess, and two other merpeople to the small town of Rocksworth. There, they were forced to do unmentionable and traumatizing things. Michaela doesn't know if she'll ever return to the coral castle she so briefly saw her parents call home, and if she does, what kind of life might that be?

She finally looks at me with the same look i remember all to well. When she finally looked at me she didn't care to smile at me, yell, turn away from me, she just looked at me. I wanted her to do something but instead she stayed there quiet. She was numb, she didn't care, nothing mattered to her anymore. The same look I saw all those years ago in the emergency room, a look I thought I'd never see again." -Rafe Delilah Elle Summers, a beautiful girl with a beautiful soul. Best friends with Sarah Beth Cameron, they met through their mothers who were also best friends since they were little. With the Cameron family also comes Rafe, he's aggressive, he's complicated.

Yet, the ripples of a changing world beyond have begun to seep in, bleaching color and darkening minds--but not Dea Rhodoreef's mind. Who said life's easy for a teen about to graduate high school? Even more so when one is a pastel goth gamer mermaid trying to scrape by in a mobile home with a grumpy grandmother who's always complaining about the "human infestation". Maybe the troubled city-state will embrace a new dawn when merpeople and humans coexist--a future that Dea is determined to work hard for.

Now, as if school, a part-time job and building a political career aren't enough, a chonky sea cow has been following her for days.
