Mermaids in the Backyard (2013)
“Lindy blurted out. “There’s no such thing as mermaids!”
“Please!” The girl in the tide pool sounded terrified. “I have to get back to the sea!”
“Can you help us?” the older girl asked, still clinging to the rock.
When Lindy looked at her, she could see the tip of a tail swing up as the waves rolled in again. The older girl was a mermaid, too!
Lindy’s mind swirled with questions. But one thing was clear. These girls—these mermaids—were in trouble. She had to help them.
“What’s the matter?” Lindy... asked the younger sister. “Can’t you get back to the ocean?”
“I’ve been trying and trying!” the mermaid answered, the words pouring out of her. “The waves swept over those rocks and trapped me here in the shallows!”
Lindy looked around and saw what she meant. The water came at least halfway up the old-man rocks on the ocean side. On this side, though, the boulders rose as high as her head. The mermaid would have to go all the way up the hill to get around them.MoreLess
