Lilly and Fin A Mermaid's Tale

Review

The book isn't part of a series with the same characters, but it is a new genre style of fictional writing for younger readers ages 7-10. The book doesn't introduce the main characters until later. The storyline is cute with two friends trying not to be captured. The book is 17 chapters long, it would work well as a read aloud. The back of the book has some extension ideas: there are hidden pictures in most of the pictures, knit your own Lilly and Fin hat, and a Lilly and Fin game. The pictures are cute.

Overall Book Score: good
