The Mermaid Academy is in many ways like any other school. Students learn and friendships are important. There are challenges. Cora and Issy are twins but are forced to attend different classes. Issy is the older twin and Cora is worried when her magic appears before Issy’s. Cora’s closest companion is Sparkle, her dolphin.
There is also adventure and mystery. Cora and Sparkle seek to join Cora’s friends who are trying to work out what has damaged the coral reefs. This brings them into danger as well. They discover the terrible secret about what has been happening.
All is well in the end. Issy and Cora are reconciled. When dolphins and mermaids bond their tail fins match. This happens for Cora and Sparkle at the end of the story. Cora is also reconciled with her twin sister and at peace with her friends. Then she decides to do what she had always really wanted to to do: she joins the music group. Her friends, her twin and Sparkle are all happy about this.
