Book #3 in the Mermaid Tales series
A young mermaid named Kiki faces her fears and learns to overcome them with the help of her friends and a friendly whale.
Kiki, a third grader at Trident Academy, faces her biggest fear: visiting the ocean's surface to meet humpback whales. Terrified of the massive creatures, she worries they might swallow her whole. With the support of her friends Shelly and Echo, and an unexpected ally—a whale-sized friend—Kiki must find her courage. Will she overcome her fears and discover the wonders above the waves, or will her anxiety hold her back from an unforgettable adventure?
In this sparkling Mermaid Tales adventure, can Kiki overcome her fears and enjoy her first-ever trip to the ocean’s surface? The third graders at Trident Academy are traveling to the surface of the ocean for the first time ever for a “hugely” exciting activity: They’re going to visit a pod of humpback whales! But Kiki is less than thrilled. In fact, she’s scared from the top of her head to the tip of her tail. After all, the enormous creatures could swallow her (and maybe her entire class) in one giant gulp! Kiki’s pals Shelly and Echo try to help shrink her fears, and when a new friend comes along–a very big, whale-size friend–Kiki’s courage emerges, and the fun looms large.
