11yo Shelly Anderson’s parents own the Triton Bay Aquarium, which labels her a science nerd. Shelly desperately wants to be popular instead, so when she comes across a mysterious nautilus shell that belongs to Ursula, the sea witch, she thinks a deal to become the coolest girl in school is a grand idea. Doesn’t take a genius to know that deal is going south fast. 

 Based the Disney villain, the book explores what it would be like if an average middle schooler needed the sea witch. The plot is fairly predictable, but it’s a fast, fun  read. It’s like the Twilight Zone meets Disney.
