Meranda And The Legend Of The Lake - English Edition

Eleven-year-old Meranda thought her life was complicated enough with physical challenges (she uses crutches to walk) and helicopter parents. But when her great-uncle Mark dies, Meranda and her family visit Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, where her parents grew up and where she hasn't been since the age of three. Soon, odd things start to happen. Secrets unfold about her great-uncle's death, strangers in town call her a "miracle baby", and her usually calm mother seems panicked. And what does all this have to do with mermaids? Meranda and her new friend, Claire, decide to investigate on their own. With an intriguing mystery at hand, and a strong-willed, resilient heroine at the helm, this mythical maritime novel celebrates coming of age and growing into yourself.
