    About this ebook

    The merkids hunt for hidden treasure in this Mermaid Tales adventure!

    When Rocky finds a seaweed scroll that describes an abandoned pirate ship bursting with jewels, the students are tripping over their tails with excitement. There’s only one problem: the treasure is supposedly guarded by pirate ghosts! But a few “silly ghosts” aren’t going to keep prima donna Pearl away from fame, fortune, and “diamonds as big as a merman’s fist.”

    The hunt is on! Pearl recruits fellow merkids Rocky and Wanda to help her track down the treasure by swimming all the way past Whale Mountain. But when they discover the pirate ship, they hear eerie moans and groans coming from within. What’s making those sounds? Could the pirate ghosts be real? And can the merkids get the jewels before becoming someone’s—or something’s—lunch?

      PEARL SWAMP CURLED THE TIP of her gold tail to make a bow. Then she flipped it out quickly to make a circle. It was hard to do while seated, but just for fun, she began practicing her Tail Flippers dance. Her school, Trident Academy, had a dance and gymnastics group called the Tail Flippers. Pearl was so proud that she’d made the team this year!

      Pearl! her third-grade teacher, Mrs. Karp, snapped. Are you paying attention?

      Pearl sat up straight and stared innocently at her teacher. Of course! I always pay attention to you, Mrs. Karp. Of course, that wasn’t exactly true. Pearl did try to pay attention, but sometimes school was just too boring! She longed for something exciting to happen.

      As I was saying, class, Mrs. Karp continued, today we will start a storytelling project.

      A merboy named Rocky Ridge groaned loud enough for the whole class to hear. Pearl felt like groaning too. Mrs. Karp was always coming up with new tasks for them, some very dull!

      Mrs. Karp frowned at Rocky. The project will include two assignments. For the first assignment, each of you will choose a story to study. Then you will practice telling it to your family or in front of a mirror. You will share your story with the class tomorrow.

      Kiki Coral raised her hand. What’s a mirror?

      Don’t you have a mirror? Pearl asked in surprise. Even though Kiki was from far-off waters, Pearl couldn’t believe she didn’t know what a mirror was!

      Kiki shook her head. Most of the other third graders shrugged, so Shelly Siren explained, It’s a piece of glass that you look in to see yourself. What you see is called a reflection. A lot of humans have them.

      Pearl sniffed, tossing her long blond hair behind her shoulders. Shelly was such a know-it-all. Just because she lived with her grandfather in an apartment above the People Museum, she thought she was an expert on all human things. My family has ten of them, Pearl bragged.

      No one has ten mirrors in their shell, Rocky scoffed.

      Pearl lifted her pointy nose up in
