The Blurb On The Back:
Dive into a mermaid adventure!
Sea Keepers
The Sea Keepers are searching for a magic pearl in the tropics. But when evil Effluvia kidnaps a baby manatee, it’s up to the girls to rescue it. Can Emily, Grace and Layla find the missing manatee before the rest of the herd leave it behind?
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The 9th book in Coral Ripley’s (a pseudonym for a group of writers) illustrated fantasy series for readers aged 6+ is a fun, ecologically aware read with a suitably wicked antagonist. Although the illustrations are a little basic, this could have been an overly cutesy read but the emphasis on friendship and support and the way the main characters make fun of some of the traditional villain tropes keeps it feeling fresh.
Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
