When a young boy endangers himself to save a mermaid, he never could have imagined the unexpected result of his actions.

Genre: Children’s fiction ages 4-8 Years

It turns out one good deed deserves another.

My Review

When Douglas Ridge, who was very, very mean, captures a mermaid with the darkest hair and the greenest eyes that the young boy had ever seen, he boasts that she will make him a fortune.

But the boy is a kind and sensitive soul, and he saw the mermaid’s fear. So while Douglas and his mates are out of the room, he freed her and ‘scooped her up into his arms and held her to his chest’. He then released her back into the sea. And that was that, or was it?

But what happened many years later is at the heart of the book. I shall leave you to read it for yourselves.

It’s a lovely story with a message about kindness and karma, and it teaches children how when you help someone out who is in trouble, you may be repaid with a favour when you are in trouble yourself.

The illustrations are colourful and striking and will appeal to children of all ages.

Diagnosed with dyslexia when I was 5 years old, I struggled at school until I discovered my love of books and started to learn how to read at 11. I have since published over 6 books including my Faraday Bear & Friends book series. Away from the desk I enjoy surfing, collecting badges and autographs and playing the guitar.
