Description

A trio of smart and stylish mermaids are about to make a splash in this hilarious start to a new middle-grade series that’s The Little Mermaid meets My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish. Mermaids Beattie, Mimi, and Zelda’s summer on land with temporary legs is going swimmingly—until they receive a strange message ordering them to return home at once. The beloved queen of the Hidden Lagoon has been fishnapped, and some seriously bad mermaids have taken over instead! Now, the girls are the only ones who can stop them. If they’re going to save the day, they’ll need a clam car, some piranha-print nail polish, and possibly a talking seahorse named Steve. Can they do it? Filled with magical mysteries, fabulous shell fashions, and three fin-tastic protagonists to root for, Bad Mermaids Make Waves is a hysterical new middle-grade adventure that will have readers begging for the sea-quel.
