This third book in the Secret Mermaid series is perfectly pitched
for the emerging reader with seventy six pages of text divided into
six chapters. There's liberal use of illustrations by Maria Pearson
which ensure that the pages are not too daunting – and that there
are useful clues to the story if a little help is needed. The
vocabulary is challenging but not too difficult for the newly
confident reader. Don't worry if you haven't read the first two
books in the series, you'll quickly catch up with the story!
It's a good story too with adventure, intrigue and just a little
danger as the girls are pursued by a great white shark and have to
negotiate with a rather grumpy sea urchin. It's not a book which is
likely to appeal to boys but any girl who enjoys magic and
adventure is going to enjoy this book.
