My New Best Friend

Ida May's friendship blossoms
When Ida May’s new best friend, Stacey Merriweather, isn’t dancing off to ballet class or spending the weekend at her dad’s house, she and Ida are together.

They even start a secret club after finding a spooky mermaid nightlight in Ida’s attic. They’re convinced the mermaid can make things happen. Even powerful things – if they help her by stretching the truth!
