A Girl--A Mermaid?

I love sea mammals--whales, dolphins, seals, etc., and I loved this beautiful book. Even though it's about a girl turning into a mermaid, it's very realistic about how she feels about it. And the rescues were wonderful and very exciting. Anybody who likes mermaids, or the sea, or fantasy will love this book!
