Review
Cora is a mermaid in the third grade and she wants to be a member of the Singing Sirens, but she is failing spelling so she can't be a part of the team until she improves that grade. To encourage Cora to work on these things her mom buys her a diary, in hopes that it will help improve Cora's language skills. Through her writings Cora learns about the nasty side of some of her friends. I found a lot of the story to be flat and focusing too much attention on good looks and who appears conventionally "beautiful". Not a great choice.
