Penny Pescadusa

A Middle Grade Fantasy Adventure for Ages 8-12

Penny doesn’t like to draw attention to herself. So when she wakes up to find herself mysteriously transformed, she knows she wants to change back — fast. But with scales appearing, strange things happening, and her mom suddenly ignoring her, Penny realizes this transformation might be harder to reverse than she thought.

With her best friend Mike by her side, Penny embarks on an underwater quest to uncover the truth. But her crazy new appearance is not her only problem — there is also a bully to face, a mysterious ocean creature attacking her, and the nagging question: Will her life ever be normal again?

Through her journey, Penny discovers that the biggest surprises often lead to the most magical discoveries — and that true friendship and inner strength can help you navigate even the deepest waters.
