This series from Harriet Muncaster is bound to delight fans of her Isadora Moon books.
Little mermaid Emerald has a punky, gothic vibe so she’s not too happy when she has to get dressed up in all her royal finery for a special party hosted by her stepdad the king of Scallop City. Her stepsister Delphina loves wearing the frilly frocks and jewels, but they don’t do anything for Emerald, and her best friend octopus Inkibelle is very uncomfortable in her little tiara.
Fortunately, visiting prince Mola is happier in more casual gear too. Two merpeas in a pod, they form a bond! The story is lots of fun and full of adventure, while Emerald’s underwater world is particularly appealing with its gardens, fishy snacks, and mermaid furniture. With its pretty green and black illustrations, short chapters and fast-moving plots, this series is perfect for independent readers too.
