To Dayeon, the haenyeo are as strong and graceful as mermaids. To give her strength, Dayeon eats Grandma's abalone porridge. She practices holding her breath while they do the dishes. And when Grandma suits up for her next dive, Dayeon grabs her suit, flippers, and goggles. A scary memory of the sea keeps Dayeon clinging to the shore, but with Grandma's guidance, Dayeon comes to appreciate the ocean's many gifts.

The women opened a detective agency with help from their newest member and investor, Mathilda, but six long months have passed without a single case to solve and tensions are growing.

Yet with the local talk of sirens calling victims to the sea to meet their end, could something other-worldly be responsible for the man's death?

"Sentence by sensuous sentence, Roffey builds a verdant, complicated world that is a pleasure to live inside.... You might start to believe in the existence of mermaids.” —The New York Times In 1976, David is fishing off the island of Black Conch when he comes upon a creature he doesn’t expect: a mermaid by the name of Aycayia. Once a beautiful young woman, she was cursed by jealous wives to live in this form for the rest of her days. But after the mermaid is caught by American tourists, David rescues and hides her away in his home, finding that, once out of the water, she begins to transform back into a woman. Now David must work to win Aycayia's trust while she relearns what it is to be human, navigating not only her new body but also her relationship with others on the island—a difficult task after centuries of loneliness. As David and Aycayia grow to love each other, they juggle both the joys and the dangers of life on shore. But a lingering question remains: Will the former mermaid be able to escape her curse? Taking on many points of view, this mythical adventure tells the story of one woman’s return to land, her healing, and her survival.

Download or read book Kelly the Mermaid written by Francis McIntire and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-13 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A MERMAID'S LIFE is an endless parade of dinners and dances and travel to far-away places with other members of the pod. The pod is a collection of mermaids and mermen - young and old - from the same barrier reef, island chain, or long-forgotten undersea castle or empire. Atlantis is an example of an undersea empire that is the home to hundreds of pods of mermaids and their families.Kelly's pod includes her friends and family members. Her family includes her sister Layla - also a mermaid. Her mother and dad are only half mermaid and merman. They are half-human also. The mermaid gene is dominant, so Kelly and Layla look and swim like all the other mermaids in the pod. They have a human upper body with head and arms like most humans. Their lower bodies look like a fish's body - it is green with shiny scales and a fine tail, like a dolphin or a whale. The most interesting thing about the tail is that it is a magic tail. The magic is in the tail. Just as the magic is in the carriage return, the magic is in the tail.The other interesting thing about mermaids is that they can sing magical songs that can be heard by other mermaids and mermen across great distances. The magical songs can also be heard by sailors as they sail the seven seas. The sailors listen carefully for the magical songs - also called siren songs - of the mermaids. The sailors must also be very careful not to steer their ships into the rocks where the mermaids and their families sing and play on nice, sunny days.Factoids:* The number of mermaids has increased substantially over the past decade. Prior to 1910, mermaids and mermen were classified as an endangered species. They almost went extinct!* Since 1990, thanks to more restricted fishing practices, the mermaid population has grown to safe levels ensuring their survival into the next millennium.* The Beaudelaires continue to be the greatest threat to the mermaid population. The exact reason that Beaudelaires dislike mermaids is not known. Just let it suffice that were it not for their magic tails, mermaids would have no chance of surviving an encounter with a member of the Beaudelaire clan.Kelly and her sister Layla were the best swimmers in the pod.When Kelly was in mermaid kindergarten, her mermaid teacher asked her "What do you want to be when you grow up?"Kelly responded, "I want to be a marine biologist when I grow up." That's what her daddy wanted to be when he was in human kindergarten. Her daddy was not sure what a marine biologist did, but had heard about marine biologists when he saw the movie Free Willie.Free Willie was about a killer whale that was one of the best friends of all mermaids and mermen.The movie also had good humans and bad humans. The good humans wanted to help Willie in any way that they could. This included the efforts of a small human boy who even tried to help Willie get back out to sea. The bad humans tried to hurt Willie, and even kill him so they could collect the insurance money. Insurance is a thing that pays you a lot of money when something really bad happens.Oh, one more thing. Willie was a killer whale, but killer whales are not really bad - even though the name 'killer whale' sounds bad. They call killer whales 'killer' because they look ferocious, but are really quite nice to mermaids and humans. In fact, Kelly and Layla often go for rides on the backs of killer whales that stop by Atlantis. The only character flaw in the otherwise placid killer whale community is their penchant for a seal now and then. Killer whales' parents admonish their children to keep it to a minimum.
