Sibeal Pounder’s third book in this series “Bad Mermaids – On Thin Ice” has just been published in June 2019, and we are celebrating that with a giveaway of a set of all three books!
“Bad Mermaids: On Thin Ice” is set in the underwater kingdom of Frostopia.
Mermaids Beattie, Mimi and Zelda have come to the aid of Maritza Mist, a famous water witch who supplies magic spells to the underwater kingdoms.
Two notoriously bad mermaids have escaped from Viper View prison and stolen Maritza’s map that shows the locations of twelve magical objects. When brought together, these objects will create the most powerful water witch the world has ever known. Beattie, Mimi and Zelda set off to travel the underwater kingdoms to stop them. But they haven’t counted on meeting a bunch of over-zealous spies, the oldest shark in the world or their faithful companion Steve the seahorse going rogue …
I like the fact that there are cute illustrations scattered here and there in the book, and that the prose is quite snarky.
Not surprising when you find out that Sibéal Pounder used to work for the Financial Times, where she researched the How To Spend It section and wrote the For Goodness’ Sake column. Now she writes about fabulous witches and bad mermaids in this series. Sibéal’s first book, Witch Wars, was even shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize in 2016.
These reviews are entertaining to read in and of themselves!
So if you are looking for more books for your kids to get buried in, the Bad Mermaids series is definitely one to check out.
The Bad Mermaids series is available at all good bookstores.
