Illustrated by Laura Rader
Collins World 1978
ISBN# 0-529-05420-5 Collins hardcover

A deaf girl angry with having to wear a hearing aid and refusing to use signing meets a young mermaid thrust out of her community for disobeying their laws. Merfolk sign under the sea, so mergirl (who now has legs) and deaf girl can communicate. Together they rescue a beached dolphin, and the mermaid is allowed to return to her family. There was a Japanese version.
