Book 1 of the "Misty the Mermaid" series of short stories, all holding a subtle message in each engaging adventure. It is the essential children's mermaid book with colorful, life-like scenes. Misty's stories are based on the real-life character actor Misty Joy, whose performances as a mermaid are legendary in Florida. Misty Joy enjoys performing all her acts, especially "Misty the Mermaid." Misty and Shirley collaborated on Misty's website, which displayed Misty in her various roles as a performance artist in and around Panama City, Florida. Shirley, a web designer/writer, suggested that Misty should consider having a children's book created for her character, Misty the Mermaid, the ultimate ocean adventure for kids, to read during her performances.
