But when a near-death experience gives Milo a vision of a mermaid calling to him for help, Milo is forced to test his uncle’s claims.

Kallie's not quite sure about being a superhero, but she's definitely sure she's not going to be just a fat one.

As one of the popular girls at her high school, Kallie Grande-White knows how to influence the crowds as her model-ready un-super self. But when a pair of campaigning politicians come to Cuttingham City in hopes of winning Fatgirl's endorsement, Kallie is quick to send them packing. Between all the attention from the Model Middle America show, social media, and the news, she's had enough people talking for her that she doesn't want to actually say anything - and it doesn't help that she's not sure how John Weber and James Walter are really that different from each other.

You'll never look at doughnuts the same way again. Now that Kallie Grande-White has reluctantly agreed to find the one who stole her grandmother's top secret, radioactive doughnut recipe, she's more than a little inconvienced by the entire thing - especially since her superhero alter-ego is "Fatgirl", Cuttingham City's would-be superhero who, unbeknowst to them, accidentally saved the city from a terrorist attack.

Kallie Grande-White literally can't take this anymore - even though she has to. As Fatgirl, her city's famous superhero, she's pretty sure she'd die of embarrassment if anyone else knew the truth. So, when local news anchorwoman Gynnifer Stills makes it her ultimate career goal to discover Fatgirl's real identity - recruiting the unwitting help of some former Alterants, including Blake Turner - Kallie is faced with overwhelming pressure.

There's nothing that 17-year-old Kallie Grande-White hungers for more than to be a famous model like her mother - except maybe actually food. But that's a small inconvenience, especially with the Model Middle America reality show holding auditions for the Next Top Heartland Teen Heartthrob Model right in Kallie's hometown. Nothing's going to stand in Kallie's way as she claws her way to the top. But when Kallie downs half a dozen of her PhD-in-nuclear-nanotechnology grandmother's radioactive doughnuts in a momentary fit of rage, everything changes - starting with her own body!

Kallie Grande-White is pretty sure she's had worse days...hasn't she? First, there was fighting with a terrorist, then arguing with her possibly psychotic grandmother over his body, only to get home and realize she doesn't have a working cell phone, and she didn't finish her homework over the weekend. Okay, that's pretty bad.

A flab-normal life.... Kallie Grande-White can pretend to go on with her life, but reminders of her transgressions into heroism continuously follow her throughout her day - especially now that her awkward classmate Zeus Evans knows her secret. Even with the return of Model Middle America to Cuttingham City, to attempt another round of modeling auditions, Kallie soon realizes there is no escaping from her double-sized life when one of the show’s producer asks for Fatgirl’s assistance.

As Kallie becomes a beloved city hero and overnight sensation, there's more on her mind when Kallie's grandmother, Abuela-Blanca, reveals the origins of the radioactive doughnuts - and why she now needs Kallie's help in bringing down an even bigger threat. And while there's nothing Kallie wants to do less than take up the media's given mantle of "Fatgirl", she soon finds out she has little choice - not if she wants to keep her identity a secret, and not if she ever wants to get her mother to come back home.

As a Ghost Child and Handmaiden to Ceru, the Great Sea Serpent and Guardian of the Laenite Tribe, all 17-year-old Thessa wants is a family of her own. When Ceru tells her she will marry an outsider and bear a child of prophecy, Thessa is more than excited - especially when the boy she loves, Garrison Rico, the son of the Arian Kingdom’s ambassador, agrees to marry her.

There's nothing that 17-year-old Kallie Grande-White hungers for more than to be a famous model like her mother - except maybe actually food. But that's a small inconvenience, especially with the Model Middle America reality show holding auditions for the Next Top Heartland Teen Heartthrob Model right in Kallie's hometown. Now that she has a chance to make her dream come true, Kallie is determined not to let anything stand in her way - not her best frenemy, Amory Franklin, not her lacrosse-playing crush, and especially not the new, awkward fat kid in her computer class.
