It’s holiday time for little mermaid Emerald and her family and she persuades them to go camping. She always loved the camping holidays she had with her mum and dad, but maybe her stepdad and stepsister won’t find it as much fun; they are royal after all and used to luxury.
Sure enough, King Auster brings along a stack of luggage and then uses magic to turn his tent into a canvas palace. Emerald is annoyed, it doesn’t feel like real camping. But a late night adventure with her little stepsister Princess Delphina helps her to realise that doing things differently doesn’t mean they are any less fun.
Emerald’s underwater world with its dolphin rides, amazing-sounding food and friendly sea creatures will fascinate and delight young readers, but for all that she’s a mermaid – and now a princess – Emerald is just like them too and that’s what makes these books so special. Emerald rules!

Emerald and the Magic Shell Synopsis
Meet Isadora Moon's mermaid friend, Emerald!
Emerald is learning how to be a mermaid princess, but there are just so many rules. She loves having fun with her friends and exploring her underwater world with her pet octopus, Inkibelle, she doesn't want to be stuck in the palace with everyone looking at her and checking that she's doing things the proper, royal way.
In Emerald and the Magic Shell, Emerald goes on a camping holiday with her mum, stepdad King Auster, and stepsister Delphine. But it isn't like the camping trips Emerald used to take with her dad when she was little. King Auster uses his magic shell at every opportunity to make the trip more luxurious.
Emerald is determined to do camping properly, without magic, but when she wakes up in the night feeling cold, she decides to use the shell after all-to disastrous effect!
Illustrated throughout in sea green and black, Emerald is perfect for readers who are looking for a first chapter book with a splash of wildness and wonder.
