Giveaway: Real Mermaids Don't Wear Toe Rings

To make up for my absence in the past weeks (which I hereby blame on University exam season) here is another hosted giveaway for you guys, and another one hopefully coming next week!

Another Canada-based author this time too! I'm a sucker for unconventional protagonists and mythical creatures, Awkward Parental Situations, and of course a little mystery. How does a mermaid drown?


Real Mermaids Don't Wear Toe Rings
by Hélène Boudreau
published by Sourcebooks Jabberwocky
Summary from publisher
Fourteen-year-old Jade feels like a freak-of-nature when she finally gets her first period while trying on an XL tankini at the mall. It gets worse when she runs into handsome Luke Martin in the feminine products aisle while her dad Googles ‘menstruation’ on his phone.
But "freak-of-nature" takes on a whole new meaning when raging hormones bring on another metamorphosis—complete with scales and a tail. When Jade learns she’s inherited her mermaid tendencies from her late mother, it raises the question: if Mom was a mermaid, how did she drown?
