The Golden Seashell Necklace: Back on Dry Land

Book excerpt: For the past couple of months, little Carol Anne Smith has been living with her adopted family; the Johnsons, since they fled the evil clutches of Doctor Benjamin Langdon. It isn't long, however, before Carol Anne becomes homesick and hatches a plan to steal one of Tom and Karen Johnson's golden seashell-necklaces that has the power to turn mermaids into humans, as well as the reverse as Carol Anne had the misfortune of finding out. At first, Carol Anne intends on the visit to be temporarily, but when Dr. Langdon finds out that she's back on dry-land and Karen and Tom find out Carol Anne's scheme to return to her "land-dweller" family, it's a race against time to keep Carol Anne out of Dr. Langdon's evil clutches once and for all.
