That’s about the same as a bag of potato chips at my local corner store, or a small hot chocolate, or a quarter of an Ice Cream Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough Blizzard at my Dairy Queen by the library (seriously, their prices are insane).
iBOOK: Over at Apple iTunes, too! Did I mention? Yes, I know…only 99 cents!

Or, BARNES & NOBLE if you’re more of a Nook kind of reader. Again, only $1.99.

Thanks, EVERYONE, for the reader e-mail, blog mentions, tweets, contests and reviews and for helping to spread the word about Jade–my chocolate-mug-cake-loving/reluctant mermaid.
Your support and enthusiasm have meant SO much!
Some of you have asked, “Will there be a sequel?!” and today, I can enthusiastically say NO!
There will not be a sequel.
There will be TWO!!!!!!!
From today’s Publishers Marketplace:
REAL MERMAIDS DON’T WEAR TOE RINGS author Hélène Boudreau’s next two books in the Real Mermaids series, about a plus-sized, aquaphobic teenager with mermaid tendencies, again to Rebecca Frazer at Jabberwocky, by Lauren MacLeod at The Strothman Agency (World English).
PROOF! *click to enlarge*
Doing a couple of virtual cannon balls and back flips over this news. Woohoo!
Couldn’t be happier or more excited!!! Of course, there will have to be more trips to Cape Breton for research, yes?!

Thanks so much, Jodi, Lisa and Laura! I’m excited to dive back into this story!
From The New York Journal of Books: “Ms. Boudreau writes knowingly about the political minefield of adolescent girl relationships and surging guy-crushes, and she puts Jade in quite a crucible: Trying to solve the mystery of her mother’s death, pass high school, keep her friends, win the guy—and not morph into a fish in public. The author is savvy enough to have left a few threads loose, and she has built enough conflict in the nascent mermaid world to warrant a very nice sequel. Oh, it’s never easy to be a 14-year-old girl. Bravo to Hélène Boudreau for hitting the bull’s-eye with a fresh, affectionate, watery twist on the classic coming-of-age-story.”
From Kirkus Reviews:“…the author keeps suspense high and her prose moving while tapping straight into young teens’ angst about friends, enemies and boys.”
From The YA-5:“Absolutely fresh and sweet, a quirky coming of age story.” (and a full review where she likens my character, Jade, to Margaret. YES! Judy Blume’s Margaret. *faints*)
