Strange things happen when you start wondering about things. If you're a really curious young mermaid like Libby, who wants to know everything and anything, you might learn that the whole Atlantic Ocean is stuck inside a water tower. And that legs sprout from your tail once your scales dry off completely. Oh, and that your parents might not have a clue. But most of all: that the world is far more than it seems and filled with wonders--if you're brave enough to look for them.
