Roxanne is a small town librarian who dreams of being a reporter. When she comes into the possession of something that appears to be directions to the hidden treasure of Great Lakes pirate Dan Seavey, she entertains wild hopes of finding enough money to fund her own newspaper. What she actually finds is a blue merperson. And trouble. A lot of trouble.
“All of us an ample share of the treasure, and used it wisely or foolishly, according to our nature.”
Roxanne blinked at the last sentence of the book, and then frowned.
She hadn’t remembered the story ending so abruptly.
No—no, surely there should be a description of what they had chosen to do with their shares of the treasure.
Roxanne had read the book before, though, admittedly, not this copy. Great Aunt Rachel had always been adamant that this book was not for reading, especially by reckless little girls who couldn’t be trusted to know the value of a book.
Some days, Roxanne suspected herself of having become a librarian specifically to spite Great Aunt Rachel—though of course, the job at the library was only temporary, until Roxanne managed to get enough money together to start publishing the newspaper.
