Gabby, the youngest of the Never Girls, wants to meet a
mermaid. But its quite apparent they are not friendly. One day when she is
allowed off alone to look for sea glass, she meets a younger mermaid, just her
same age. They strike up a secret friendship. When a pixie spies them playing, she
tells everyone. Quickly the fun gets exaggerated into danger, and everyone is
worried.
This is a really fun series, but I am pretty much over
reviewing books in it. In the school library I rarely have series read past
book one or two (with a few exceptions like magic treehouse –but even then –they
don’t read them in order). This book is fun, high quality, and has a lot of
heart –I like the lesson about accepting others and overcoming prejudice. Add
this to your library if this series is popular, if not –invest in books 1-3 and
see how it goes.
