Reviews
"Full of fun and adventure and young readers will love the underwater details. Sheena Dempsey's illustrations are ever-so pretty too and this series is offishially a hit. One to recommend to fans of The Worst Witch and readers who like Marnie should get to know Lyla, star of Rebecca Patterson's new Moon Girl series too" -- Andrea Reece * LoveReading4Kids *
