Mona the Mermaid: Mona Stalks a Jackal by Carol Ann Stevens
When a storm launches Mona the Mermaid out of Lake Erie and onto Crescent Beach, the young mermaid makes the beautiful bay her new home. But while the creatures of Crescent are nice, they aren’t happy.
A jackal terrorizes them by day and haunts them by night!
Mona wants to help her friends. But the first time Mona meets up with the jackal, her beautiful tail is punctured! And it hurts!
She knows she shouldn’t meet with Jay-deen again, yet she needs to learn more about this wily creature.
One stormy night while the winds howl and waves batter the beach, Mona accepts the jackal’s invitation to talk.
Will this be a mistake? Or can Mona convince the jackal to be friends?
In Book One of the Mona the Mermaid series, this young mermaid learns lessons about honesty, friendship and the two sides to most stories.
