Root beer candy and other miracles / Green, Shari

"Sent to an island town to stay with her estranged grandmother while her parents try to save their crumbling marriage, 11-year-old Bailey feels helpless and cast way. When a self-proclaimed prophet predicts 'a stranger from the sea will change everything.' Baily hopes this stranger can solve her problems--little suspecting her own ability to influence the world" --- Provided by publisher.

"The locals in Felicity Bay shake their head at the ice cream man's prophecy. "Crazy old Jasper," they say. But Bailey isn't so sure. She has found something special down at the beach: a driftwood mermaid, a gift washed up from a storm. Could she be a stranger from the sea who has come to change everything? Bailey hopes so. Because this summer, she could sure use a miracle."--Back cover.
