The best form of rehabilitation is swimming, so she spends hours in the pool, but not just to strengthen her body.\nHer Florida town is home to Mermaid Cove, a kitschy underwater attraction where professional mermaids perform in giant tanks . . . and Verónica wants to audition. But her conservative Peruvian parents would never go for it. And they definitely would never let her be with Alex, her cute new neighbor.\nShe decides it's time to seize control of her life, but her plans come crashing down when she learns her parents have been hiding the truth from her—the truth about her own body.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0358536863\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0358536863.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sylvester, Natalia\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is a well used but readable copy.
