Description
Once again my brother and I are in hot water . . .
We weren't planning to mess up the fairy tales. The first two times we did it by accident. But when our magic mirror pulls us into the story of the Little Mermaid, we have no choice but to try and rewrite it. Let's just say the original story does NOT end happily! Now we need to:- Convince our mermaid to keep her tail- Plan a royal wedding- Avoid getting eaten by sharksWe've got to find a happy ending for the Little Mermaid . . . before she's fish food and we're lost at sea forever!

Excerpt: Sink or Swim (Whatever After #3) (by (author) Sarah Mlynowski)
From WHATEVER AFTER #3: SINK OR SWIMI definitely see a beach. An empty beach. No tourists, no sandcastles, no bright-colored beach towels. Just pure white sand sparkling in the mid-day sun. Ocean as far as the eye can see. In the distance there's a blob moving toward us. I squint toward the water. I see a head! A guy's head. Behind the guy's head another head keeps bobbing in and out of the water. A girl's head! At least I think it's a girl's head. I can see long hair. Hard to tell when it's soaking wet. They're getting closer . . . and closer . . . and . . . yup, it's a girl! And then behind her is something green. A towel? A floatie? It's shiny, and triangle-shaped and kind of reminds me of the paper fan I had as a kid. Oh! It's a tail!The girl has a tail!Which can only mean one thing.
