This is the first book my daughter Mia (7) has read in the MerTales series and she absolutely loved it. It’s also one of those books that you don’t need to read the previous books to pick up this one and start reading. Mia got introduced to a wonderful undersea world with mermaid Coral and her friends going off on a Treasure Hunt adventure together.
The story in a snapshot is it’s the day of the Great Treasure Hunt and everyone is joining in!
Coral is excited to lead her team of best friends to the treasure first. But soon they discover that there is a bigger mystery to solve…
Who is the mer-sterious Count Frumplesquid, and what does he really want in Cockleshell Cove?
Mia was able to encounter and read about many underwater creatures she hadn’t heard about before and she was enthralled with the thought of an underworld existing with mermaids and all!
It was an easy read for this age group and I am sure every child would be enraptured by the world Rebecca Timmis has created for young readers.
Now Mia is asking to read books 1 and 2 so she is up to date with everything that Coral and her friends have been up to.
