Synopsis

In this sparkling Mermaid Tales adventure, can Kiki overcome her fears and enjoy her first-ever trip to the ocean's surface?

The third graders at Trident Academy are traveling to the surface of the ocean for the first time ever for a "hugely" exciting activity: They're going to visit a pod of humpback whales! But Kiki is less than thrilled. In fact, she's scared from the top of her head to the tip of her tail. After all, the enormous creatures could swallow her (and maybe her entire class) in one giant gulp! Kiki's pals Shelly and Echo try to help shrink her fears, and when a new friend comes along—a very big, whale-size friend—Kiki's courage emerges, and the fun looms large.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Meghan

While this is not the best book I have ever read I am still planning to purchase the series for my library. My second grade girls are devouring the Fairy series. This will be the perfect series for them to read when they finish reading all of the Fairy books.......more
