Bonnie Ginny (who prefers to be called Ginny), and Elizabeth Rose (Lizzy), Pryor are two ordinary sisters of eleven and nine, with one extraordinary secret! They can transform into mermaids and have all sorts of adventures under the sea. Ariel and Rosalina Rhodes are also sisters who are real mermaids that live with their parents in the biggest mermaid city in the world: Mermaidia. Their parents are King and Queen of Mermaidia, and are very nice. The four girls are very good friends, and no one knows about Lizzy and Ginny’s trips to Mermaidia except them and their mermaid pals. In this expedition to Mermaidia, Rosalina is kidnapped by the evil Merideth. He is a mean villain who has a horrible habit of kidnapping kids for money! Unfortunately, Rosalina is his victim this time. It’s up to Ariel, Ginny and Lizzy to rescue her from his clutches. Before long, one of the trio abandon the other two, and someone else is kidnapped too!
