    About this ebook

    When Shelly meets the Queen of the Western Oceans in this Mermaid Tales adventure, she encounters a royal dilemma!

    When a royal messenger announces that Queen Edwina is coming to tea, Shelly is as jittery as a jellyfish! After all, the Queen of the Western Oceans is her great aunt. And despite being a princess, Shelly has never met a queen before. How should she act? What should she wear?

    Then Pearl tells Shelly that the queen is going to take Shelly to live in Neptune’s Castle: “It’s where a real princess would live,” Pearl tells her. Shelly is terrified of leaving her home, friends, and beloved grandfather behind. When the royal carriage arrives, she’s trembling from the top of her head to the tip of her tail. What will Queen Edwina think of Princess Shelly? And will she really take Shelly away from the home she loves?

      Holiday?

      SHELLY! MRS. KARP SAID. What are you doing here?"

      Shelly Siren looked around her third-grade classroom in surprise. It was first thing in the morning at her school, Trident Academy, and the other merstudents were just settling into their desks.

      It’s Wednesday, Shelly told her teacher. It isn’t a holiday, is it?

      A merboy named Rocky Ridge swam out of his rock desk toward the classroom doorway. Holiday? All right! I’m going home!

      Mrs. Karp slapped her white tail on her marble desk. Not so fast, young merman. It’s not a holiday.

      Rocky groaned, but Shelly was relieved. She had been afraid she had come to school on the wrong day. Things had been a little mixed up at her shell lately.

      I heard your grandfather has penguin pox, Shelly, and I know it’s highly contagious, Mrs. Karp said with a worried look on her face, so I wasn’t sure if you’d be at school today.

      Penguin pox? Eek! Several kids in the classroom pushed their desks away from Shelly’s.

      Pearl Swamp put a hand over her nose and squealed, Mrs. Karp, get her out of here right now before we all die!

      Mrs. Karp frowned. Pearl, you can’t die from penguin pox.

      Maybe not, Rocky said. But you do get itchy black-and-white bumps all over your body.

      Don’t worry. Echo Reef put her arm around Shelly. She isn’t sick. Echo was Shelly’s best friend.

      Shelly nodded, causing her red hair to swirl in the water around her. "My grandfather became ill after he visited a museum in far-off waters. He’s locked away with a nurse to take care of him so I don’t catch it. I haven’t even seen
