Lana Prentis is 17 years old and has some unusual physical challenges: she has white hair, silver eyes, milky-white skin and webbed fingers and toes. She lives on Safe Harbor Island off the Coast of North Carolina. Her father (Cole Prentis) is the lighthouse keeper and also the keeper of many secrets. He told Lana that her mother drowned when Lana was only three years old, and he never allows her in the water. But when Lana's P.E. Teacher (Miss Rose Perry) secretly gives Lana swimming lessons, it sets off a chain of events that leads Lana to discover the truth about herself and her mother. Lana learns her true life's purpose, that her heritage is as rich and deep as the sea - and that her future lies beneath it.

Love transcends all barriers in this modern fairy tale When the Mer-Child learned the story of the Little Mermaid, he recognized it as the account of his mother and father, the beautiful mermaid and the human man for whom she sacrificed everything. But that love had left their offspring, the Mer-Child, stranded between worlds, as unwelcome in the realm of the sea as in the earth above. Never fitting in, he has been left to wander, searching for friends, his silvery tail fluttering mournfully in the waves. One day he notices a little girl sitting on the beach. Her father must carry her to and from the shore each day because her legs are paralyzed. Her father is black, her mother white, and she is as much an outcast in both communities as the Mer-Child is in his own. Slowly, warily, they find kinship, both in their differences and in their similarities, and they form a bond that changes them forever. What each learns about the value of being different makes this modern-day fairy tale a new classic, with two memorable characters and an enduring message.

Deep in the Pacific Ocean dwells a special family—the Mer-family. They possess great power that can detect potential harm to the vast population of sea creatures. They assured the stability and harmony among all the aquatic beings. Merpapa is a very wise father and is regarded as a strong leader in the mermaid population. Supported by Mermama, Merpapa addressed the disputes among his fellow sea creatures that needed to be resolved. Mermama is considered as the foundation of the family. Together, they raised three children, Polly, Wolly, and Doodle, who, like them, also possessed great power. With Mermama and Merpapa’s guidance, their children aid in keeping the Pacific’s tranquility. But what happens when the greatest predator in the ocean is threatening the peace of the Pacific? How will the Mer-family fight Jacko, the great white shark? Join the Mer-family together with the other sea creatures in their quest for peace in The Adventures of the Mer-family!
