Real Mermaids Don’t Need High Heels by Boudreau - ADVISABLE


Boudreau, Helene Real Mermaids Don’t Need High Heels, 233 p. Sourcebooks, 2013.  $7.  Content: G.  

Jade and Cori are so excited to be moving up to 9th grade – they may still be in the same building, but at least they are on the same side as their boyfriends!  There is big trouble in the Mermish world, though.  The Mermish Council wants to get all mermaids in the area back under their control, including forcing part humans mers, like Jade and her boyfriend Luke, off land and into the sea for good.  Jade will learn even more mer secrets as she, her friends and her family fight for their survival. I have not read any of the previous books in this series and I had absolutely no problem following the action.  This is pretty dang cute, with a heavy dose of adventure and problem-solving.  The whole series is a must have for any healthy “pink book” collection!
