Eleven-year-old Anthoni Gillis is not the kind of kid who believes in fairies, unicorns, or even the word maybe. She's more of a comics hero girl. So when her mom brings her to Thunder Lake for a summer at the Showboat Resort, she doesn't believe the local rumors about the Boulay Mermaid. Anthoni has bigger fish to fry. She's always wanted a True Blue Best Friend. But it’s been hard to find one the past five years, bouncing from town to town, helping her mother sell Beauty and the Bee beauty products. This summer will be different though. Anthoni has a plan—a foolproof checklist for making lifelong friends! There won't be any maybes this time.
