description: In this sparkling Mermaid Tales adventure can Kiki overcome her fears and enjoy her first-ever trip to the ocean's surface? The third graders at Trident Academy are traveling to the surface of the ocean for the first time ever for a hugely exciting activity: They're going to visit a pod of humpback whales! But Kiki is less than thrilled. In fact she's scared from the top of her head to the tip of her tail. After all the enormous creatures could swallow her (and maybe her entire class) in one giant gulp! Kiki's pals Shelly and Echo try to help shrink her fears and when a new friend comes along--a very big whale-size friend--Kiki's courage emerges and the fun looms large.
