About this ebook
Pearl is over the moon when she gets the fin-tastic news that she’s been picked to be the next Winter Princess! She can’t help gushing to Shelly, Kiki, and Echo about the beautiful dress she’ll get to wear and how all eyes will be on her when she makes her big speech at the Winter Festival. She can’t wait to tell her parents!
But her parents have some news of their own…Pearl is going to be a big sister! They’re adopting a baby boy, and he’ll be coming home with them right around the time of the Winter Festival. Suddenly, instead of glittering gowns and princess tiaras, Pearl has to talk about new cradles and baby toys. How can her new brother be stealing all of her parents’ attention before he’s even here?
Can Pearl convince her parents that a messy, noisy baby is the last thing they need? Or will she discover she’s more suited to being a big sister than she thought?

Great News?
PEARL SWAMP COULDN’T believe her luck. Out of all the third graders at Trident Academy, her name had been drawn to be the princess at this year’s Winter Festival! If it had been a merboy, they would have had a winter prince. Every year Trident City celebrated the end of the coldest waters with a huge party at the People Museum.

Pearl zipped through MerPark, around a glass squid, and dashed inside the large pink shell she shared with her parents. Mom!
Her mother popped out of her home office and smiled. Pearl! I’ve been waiting for you.
I have great news,
they both said at the same time.
Pearl was surprised. Did her mother already know?
What’s your news?
her mother asked.
You can go first,
Pearl said.
Her mother clapped her hands. You are not going to believe it! You’re getting a baby brother!
Pearl hadn’t expected that at all. She opened her mouth. She closed her mouth. Finally, she squeaked, A baby?
Yes,
squealed her mother. Isn’t it exciting? We’re adopting a little merboy.
A merboy?
Pearl muttered. Why a merboy?
Mrs. Swamp giggled like a young child. Well, we already have a lovely daughter. Don’t you think a merboy will be nice?
Pearl frowned. A baby mergirl might have been fun. She could have dressed it in frilly dresses and had tea parties. But she wasn’t so sure about a merboy.
Does Daddy know about this?
Her mother smiled. "Well, of course. This is something we’ve planned for a
