The Sea Dragon Secret (Once Upon a Tide, Book 2): Canceled

By Stephanie Strohm

In this sequel to Once Upon a Tide, mermaid princess Lana races to connect the dots between secretive sorcerers, a mysterious shipwreck, and ancient sea dragon mythology in order to save her family--and her future crown!

Princess Lana has been trying her best--to reconnect with her mom, to get along with her new step-dad, to master her mind-reading powers, to learn about her home on land, and to make things right after brushing up against multiple international incidents (one of which may have been her own fault) in a matter of weeks. It's a lot to handle, but Lana's both a princess and an ambassador, so responsibility is (usually) her middle name! And when Lana's mom agrees to go with her to Quimby so Lana can apologize in person for getting her friend in trouble, everything seems perfect.

That is, until Lana and her mom receive news that while they were traveling to Quimby, her grandparents--the king and queen of the Hills--were lost in a shipwreck. Lana is devastated, but she refuses to give up hope that they're still alive and awaiting rescue. Lana is determined to learn what caused the shipwreck, all in the hopes of pinpointing the survivors' location. The more Lana searches for answers, though, the more questions she finds: What (or who) caused the shipwreck? Were her grandparents the only targets? And are things at the castle in the Hills truly going as well as Lana's being led to believe?

With the help of new friends and old legends, Lana must unravel the truth to save her grandparents, herself, and maybe even the whole kingdom.
