Coral's First Sleepover Jocelyn M Lacey

Off the rocky coast of Maine lived a mermaid named Coral. Coral was like most mermaids her age. She liked going to school, had many friends, and was fun to be around. The only thing that made her different was she still had her baby blanket she'd had since she was born. Her special blanket was white with little red lobsters on it, that she named Lobbie. It reminded her of the special place she lived: Maine! Only her family knew that she still slept with her blanket, Lobbie. She was so attached to it, as she'd had it her entire life. She could always count on it to make a bad day better and comfort her when she'd had a bad dream. It was also nice to have when she was sick and needed extra love and care. One day, she got invited to her first overnight party for her friend Shelly's birthday. Coral wasn't sure if she should take Lobbie to the slumber party. What would her friends think if they found out that she still had her baby blanket? Would they make fun of her? Coral wanted to take her blanket with her. She had never been without it. What would she do?
