    Maci is an odd little goth girl living in the quaint town of Whimsyville, where every building is pastel-colored and every person is overly cheerful. Her best friend is Roland, an oversized, grumpy dog who loves nothing more than good food and sleeping. 
After a few failed attempts to adopt the sunny disposition of those around her and fit in, Maci finds herself at the town’s square where the event of the year is announced: Hero of Whimsyville. A brilliant idea pops into her mind that she believes is the key to being finally accepted. What if Roland joins the contest and wins? 
What follows is an adventure—and a bit of fun misadventure—that will bring Maci so much more than what she initially hoped.

    Swimming is easy for Teensie. Not so much for Melinda and her Father. While they discuss the difficulties they are having with their SCUBA lessons, he must advocate for himself to get out of the plastic baggie and into a proper travel tank. 
A message from Teensie: 
Being in a tank has its advantages. Primarily, people forget that I’m there. I mean, let’s be realistic for a moment, even when they do remember I’m around, they don’t see me as a threat. 
I’m just a harmless goldfish. 
But that’s not my full story. See, I’m more than just a goldfish. I can talk - and the people I talk to can understand me. 
I live with an amazing family, Melinda and her father, who are doing everything they can do to keep me safe and give me the life I dream about. 
Melinda has her books, and I have mine. This is my side of the story. In Tales From the Tank you’ll hear about what actually goes on in the Longers' home, and out in the community! 
Come with me, and let me take you underwater to experience the adventure my way! 
From Porsche Ray: 
This short story is Season 1: Episode 3 of Tales From the Tank - short stories that take place within the full-size novels. Season 1 matches up with Book 1 of the MELINDA series, “Melinda and Her Father Go Scuba Diving". 
These stories contain bonus content NOT included in the novels, but the storyline does run parallel to what you will see in the larger books. 
Like all books in the MELINDA series, the content is safe, fun, and absolutely age-appropriate.
