My Salty Mary

Mary is in love with the so-called prince of Charles Town, except he doesn`t love her back. Which is inconvenient. Since she`s a mermaid, being brokenhearted means she`ll—poof!—turn into sea-foam. But instead, Mary finds herself pulled out of the sea and up onto a pirate ship. To survive, she joins them. But Mary isn`t willing to just sing the yo-ho-hos. She wants the pirate life, all of it, and she`s ready to make a splash . . . by becoming captain. But when Blackbeard dies suddenly, Mary has a chance to become so much more: Pirate King . . . or Queen. She won`t let anyone stop her—not Blackbeard`s cute son, not her best friend from back under the sea who`s having a bit too much fun with his new legs, and certainly not everyone who says she can`t be a pirate just because she`s a girl. She may not be the best man for the job, but she`ll definitely prove that she`s worth her salt.
