Overview

The Great Barrier Reef is in danger of being taken over by the voracious crown of thorns starfish after the 2010 Queensland floods. Neptune needs an assistant with imagination to solve this problem. When these starfish spawn in large numbers it will ruin the Reef for decades, if not forever. He chooses the teenager Charlotte who treats the Coral Sea as her backyard. Charlotte is dumbfounded when she is turned into a mermaid and given the power of the universal language so she can understand most of the marine life and birds. Bellycan the pelican mentors her and Bottles the dolphin teaches her how to dive and swim as her body changes. Shortly after swimming to the Bahamas, Charlotte is called back to the Coral Sea. She is the only one capable of doing an important job. The helpful characters consist of Sam the clam, Rocky lobster, Sandy sponge, Sideways crab, Bottles the dolphin and the very overbearing and bossy octopus, Madam Armsfull, manager of the Great Barrier Reef Beauty Parlour. On her travels she teams up with albatross, manta ray, marlin and whale. She becomes aware of a number of predators of the crown of thorns who might help Charlotte. In this way the Reef may be saved... but will they be in time?
