	Ten-year-old Josephine Cadogan loves two things above all else:1) Playing cricket2) Scaring away her fisherman father's new girlfriendsThat's why she's desperate to make it onto her school's cricket team. She'll get to play her favorite sport AND make sure Daddy is too busy attending her matches to date. But then Coach Broomes throws a wrench into her plan and announces that girls can't try out for the team. Frustrated and unsure where else to turn, Josephine makes a wish in front of the powerful Silk Cotton Tree. But instead of solving her problems, an even bigger one arises . . . .That afternoon, Daddy brings home a new catch, a beautiful woman named Mariss. And unlike the other girlfriends, this one doesn't scare easily. Josephine can tell there's something fishy about Mariss -- she sings in a strange language, eats weird food, and seems to exert mysterious control over everyone she meets. And even worse, she seems to be turning Daddy against Josephine.Josephine knows that Mariss isn't what she seems . . . she might not even be human! But who's going to believe her? Can Josephine convince her friends to help her and use her cricket skills to save Daddy from Mariss's dark magic before it's too late?
