Review

Lilly and Fin are just kids. (mermaid kids more specifically) Kids who love adventure - they love to explore new places. Even though they have had many warnings to stay clear of the 2 legged creatures (humans) and sea monsters - they are young and question the truth about these things. But the humans do exist and they are on a hunt for mermaids! Lilly and Fin were looking forward to a great adventure that day - Lilly had food and drink to share - she was really looking forward to hanging out in their secret cave. But Fin was having a feeling that something bad was going to happen - and sure enough it did! But in the end they were saved by a giant octopus and learned a valuable lesson. The illustrations a wonderful! Full of color and details that the kids will love to look at over and over! A wonderful book for the early reader!

Overall Book Score: very good
