The perfect beach read, for the young and the young-at-heart!

Do you recall a time in your life when you still believed anything was possible? Join Allie and Chris and let yourself drift back to those carefree summer days, when magic was found at twilight every night, and fireflies might possibly be fairies.

Could Agawam Bay’s legendary mermaid be real?

Agawam Bay is a coastal town full of secrets and sea-faring tales. When 12-year-old Allie arrives for summer vacation, she finds herself immediately drawn into the town’s mysterious past. Someone leaves a cryptic note for Allie, stating they’ve seen the mermaid in Agawam Bay, and asking for her help. She is determined to investigate.

Allie pairs up with Chris, a boy her age who’s an aspiring reporter, and together they dive deep into the town’s ancient legend of a sea captain and mermaid’s ill-fated romance.

While investigating a suspicious newcomer to town who bears an uncanny resemblance to the celebrated mermaid, Allie and Chris stumble on another mystery: a key, and a hand-drawn treasure map with a puzzling quatrain:

Between Rapunzel’s Tower and the Lake of Tears
The Tree of Knowledge holds the key
The Stones will sing when the time is right
The Dragon’s Head will point the way

With the help of a lovable Newfoundland dog, Allie and Chris put together the clues and unravel both mysteries, making new friends and unforgettable summer memories along the way.

This book includes five authentic New England recipes, which are prepared by the characters.

“Believe in everything…until there’s a reason not to.” – Mr. Danforth, a character in The Mermaid of Agawam Bay

What a lovely book! Set in a New England coastal town, the story is rich in detail and had me longing for the carefree summers of childhood. The characters of Allie and Chris drew me in immediately and their adventures were an enjoyable escape! This book is a great read and I loved the bonus of recipes by the characters at the end of the book! I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone, from children to adults.

Great mermaid adventure

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 9, 2022

This story is very nostalgic for me. Remembering my childhood days on the beach. Allie meets Chris and they hit it off. They are both fascinated by mermaids especially the one at agawam bay. They look for clues and adventure is underway. They sad part is the story of Mr Danforth very heartbreaking and it shows you the reality of life. How fragile it can be. This story is great for kids and adults alike as everyone at one point loves being just a kid.

A book to be enjoyed by youngsters and adults!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 30, 2022

This book transports the reader back to a time when young people found entertainment in nature and make-believe. It's a story that sparks your imagination and prompts you to discover what mystery or adventure lies ahead for Allie and Chris as they search for the elusive mermaid legend says lives in the waters of this coastal town. An enchanting book for young readers and a nostalgic walk back in time for the mature audience.
