In "Real Mermaids Don't Hold Their Breath," Jade faces a summer of uncertainty: her mother has vanished back into the ocean, and her first kiss with Luke has left her heart perplexed. Facing her own identity as a mer-child, Jade must decide whether to embrace swimming in the water or stepping onto land, all while suspecting that her mother’s disappearance may be tied to an enchanted tidal pool that could transform her into a human. The book continues the energetic, whimsical tone of its predecessor, blending family dynamics, fantasy, and a mother‑daughter relationship into a fresh sea‑breeze adventure.
