"Every choice Jessica Love makes imbues the story with charm, tenderness, and humor" — New York Times Book Review

One day, while riding the subway home with his Nana, Julian spots three women dressed in spectacular mermaid outfits. Their vibrant hair flows, their dresses end in fishtails, and their infectious joy lights up the train carriage. Back at home, Julian dreams of the enchantment he witnessed and becomes determined to craft his own fabulous mermaid costume. But as he dives into the project and makes a mess, he wonders: what will Nana think of his creative chaos and, more importantly, what will she think of how he sees himself?
