Classification: Fiction Lena has lived all her life in a northern California surfing community watching her friend's surf. On her sixteenth birthday she decides to defy her father and learn to surf. Then she sees what appears to be a woman's head above the water's surface and doubts her sanity. What forced her father to stop surfing and never again set foot in the ocean? Braving the deadly breakers at Magic Crescent Cove, she is drawn to see the mysterious figure again. Lena wipes out and nearly drowns, but a mermaid saves her and slips a small gold key in her hand. Now Lena must find out what secretes it unlocks and try to solve the mystery of her past. The author does a wonderful job of keeping the reader in suspense and the cover draws in your attention. This book also has an AR test available.
