Most. Embarassing. Moment. Ever.
Jade soon discovers she inherited her mermaid tendencies from her mom. But this revelation raises a serious question: if Mom was a mermaid, how did she drown?

This summer is about to get a lot more interesting…
Review:
Real Mermaids Don't Wear Toe Rings by Helene Boudreau is a charming and entertaining book about a young girl named Jade that discovers she is a mermaid. The story is adorable. Jade had to cope with many changes by herself since her mother drowned the year before. The major one being sprouting a tale after falling asleep in the bath tub.
This book has many great lessons for tween to early teenage girls. Jade learns to cope and make decisions on her own. I love how positive Jade was with her weight and how she learned to accept herself. She was a refreshing main character. There is not much depth to the story, but that is what makes it fun and cute! Perfect read for a young girl.
Rating: 3.5/5
