Melody, the littlest sea princess, is not content just to sing in the choir of mermaids like her sisters. She is an explorer who wonders about what lies above the waters surface… especially the young girl she spied from a distance.

To meet her requires a terrible sacrifice: she trades her beautiful voice for a potion that gives her legs. When trouble stirs beneath the ocean, Melody faces another impossible choice- stay with her friend or reclaim her true identity and save her family.
