Sweetpea Magee is, by her own confident assessment, the world's ULTIMATE mermaid expert. And she has a notebook to prove it.
Because mermaids, it turns out, are not all flowing locks and sparkly tails. There are pond mermaids (quite shy). River mermaids (mighty, with more than a sprinkling of tattoos). Swimming pool mermaids (synchronised swimming the like of which you have never seen). And puddle mermaids, complete with leather jacket and a great love of a storm drain.
Sweetpea has met them all, and she is going to introduce you to every single one.
We love it because: this is a book about a child who is absolutely, unshakeably certain she knows everything — and it never once makes fun of her for it. Rhian Wright's illustrations are all sherbet pool tiles and splashy aqua water, with mermaids in every colour hair you can think of, and the ending does something quietly lovely with where the magic actually turns out to live. If you have a small person currently in the everything-must-be-mermaid phase, this is the one.
