Freak of nature takes on a whole new meaning...
If she hadn't been so clueless, she might have seen it coming. But really, who expects to get into a relaxing bathtub after a stressful day of shopping for tankinis and come out with scales and a tail?
Most. Embarrassing. Moment. Ever.
Jade soon discovers she inherited her mermaid tendencies from her mom. But if Mom was a mermaid, how did she drown?
Jade is determined to find out. So how does a plus-size, aqua-phobic mer-girl go about doing that exactly? And how will Jade ever be able to explain her secret to her best friend, Cori, and to her crush, Luke?
This summer is about to get a lot more interesting...
"Absolutely fresh and sweet, a quirky coming of age story."

Real Mermaids Don't Wear Toe Rings is a story about a girl, Jade who discovers that she can transform into a mermaid. Her dad tells her that her mom was a mermaid, too, but they both wonder one thing - how did Jade's mom drown if she was a mermaid capable of breathing underwater? Jade soon finds out that there are more people like her, but not all of them are good. She sets off on an adventure to find the truth about her mom, while she deals with her mermaid transformations. This is a book about relationships, challenges, and hope.
love this book i own it and i basicly like anything with mermaids!!
This was a good book, and written quite realistically(that's probably not the right way to spell that word). I thik I would have enjoyed it more if not for my tendancy to get embarassed for the charachters. This is definately "Girls Only" in my opinion.
