Filled with fabulous fishy fun, Mermaid School is perfect for fans of Unicorn Academy and Dork Diaries. With black-and-white illustrations throughout and accessible language, readers aged 5+ will love getting lost in this underwater world! The books all follow main character Marnie Blue as she becomes a student at Lady Sealia Foam’s Mermaid School. Over the course of the series, Marnie will learn how to come out of her shell, make friends, join the school show and sports day and even go on school trips. This is a marvellous series that explores first experiences while keeping little readers engaged with underwater magic! Lucy Courtenay is also the author behind the hit series Animal Antics.
