The Secret Beach (1995 HarperCollins)
A book about a women who lived with mermaids for ten years... and a girl who is tired of being human.
I've never seen a mermaid- but I used to spend days wandering along the beach by myself trying to hear them sing above the waves. (When I was younger I lived on an island off the Queensland coast for a while. There was a pet dingo and emus who dashed into the school yard to pinch our lunches.)
