Sara James and The Mermaid Tale

Sara James isn't having your typical day. Pulled from her world of cheerleading camp and straight A's by a brightly shining star, she now finds herself hurtling through time and dimension with the sparkly-winged fairy, Anjalie. Guided by her new friend, Sara arrives in Satchandia, a brilliantly-colored, tropical realm of startling beauty.
Sara and Anjalie must explore this watery-world in search of seven star-shaped jewels of extraordinary magic. Through her encounters with the characters of Satchandia, including a pod of flashing-tailed mermaids, a mystical Wizard, and a rugged forest boy, Sara is transformed from an average American girl into an adventurer of surprising bravery and skill.
This fun and uplifting read was written for eight to twelve-year olds - and for adults who love fairy tales, and always will.
