Swimming Without a Net

Jacalyn Boggs

What more can I say than I love Fred. She's everything mermaids generally aren't. Intelligent, sassy, grumpy. And now she's been invited to join in a giant undersea conference to determine if her fellow merfolk should "swim out of the net" so to speak. Revealing themselves to humans can seem pretty scary, especially considering what we sucky land-walkers do to the water that covers 3/4ths of the globe.

Quick, fun read that brings lots of laughs. I must say my favourite bit definitely fell to the Deadwood loving Merman King.
