"Don't call this mermaid "little"--call her "captain " unless you want to walk the plank. Mary
is in love with the so-called prince of Charles Town except he doesn't love her back. Which is
inconvenient. Since she's a mermaid being brokenhearted means she'll--poof!--turn into
sea-foam. But instead Mary finds herself pulled out of the sea and up onto a pirate ship. To
survive she joins them. But Mary isn't willing to just sing the yo-ho-hos. She wants the
pirate life all of it and she's ready to make a splash...by becoming captain. But when
Blackbeard dies suddenly Mary has a chance to become so much more: Pirate King...or Queen. She
won't let anyone stop her--not Blackbeard's cute son not her best friend from back under the
sea who's having a bit too much fun with his new legs and certainly not everyone who says she
can't be a pirate just because she's a girl. She may not be the best man for the job but
she'll definitely prove that she's worth her salt."--
