From the author of Lost Boy comes a lovely historical story book about a mermaid who leaves the sea, only to become the star attraction of history’s greatest showman.

Once there was a mermaid called Amelia who could by no means be content in the ocean, a mermaid who longed to learn all the world and everything its wonders, and so she found live on land.

Once there is a man called P. T. Barnum, a guy who longed to make his lot of money by offering the wondrous and miraculous, and there is nothing even more miraculous than a real mermaid.

Amelia agrees to try out the mermaid for Barnum and walk among men in their globe, believing she can keep anytime she likes. But Barnum has never abandoned a money-making structure in his life, and he’s decided to hold on to his mermaid.
