Sarah discovers that she has the magic of the Mermaid Girls, and together with her friends, they transform and rescue the fire service from the evil Count Slither.

Tropes:

  • All Just a Dream: The story ends with Sarah waking up back in her bed, the whole story having been a dream she had after reading the Mermaid Girls books before bed.
  • Badass in Distress: The four core firefighters, as well as Jodie, get kidnapped by Count Slither and held prisoner in his lair until the Mermaid Girls come to rescue them.
  • Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Inverted; in their beach gear, it's the tomboyish Gabby wearing a midriff-revealing top, while the more feminine Svetlana wears a one-piece suit.
  • Color-Coded Characters: Sarah/Mermaid Anemone is pink, Mandy/Mermaid Flora is green, Hannah/Mermaid Shimmer is purple, Gabby/Mermaid Coral is orange, and Svetlana/Mermaid Sissonne is blue.
  • Expository Hairstyle Change: When Gabby transforms into Mermaid Coral, her Tomboyish Ponytail falls out into long beach waves.
  • Green Thumb: Mermaid Flora's main power is nature, which she uses to create seaweed ropes to trap Count Slither in.
  • Handicapped Badass: Hannah, a wheelchair user, is able to transform into a mermaid and swim using a special motor attached to her tail.
  • Light 'em Up: Mermaid Shimmer's main power is light, which she uses to distract Count Slither.
  • Shout-Out: Mermaid Flora's Transformation Name Announcement is "Growing better all the time!", while Mermaid Shimmer's is "Shining bright to find my way!".
  • Super-Speed: Mermaid Sissonne's main power is speed, which she inherits from dolphins.
  • Terms of Endangerment: Count Slither mockingly calls Sam "Little Red" as he gloats about the rescue service not being able to escape his trap.
