MerTales 1: The Best Friend Promise
A sea-sational new series, packed with mermagic and flipperific adventure.
Today is Pearl’s ninth birthday, and she is planning a sea-sational day with her best friends. But when Pearl takes a shortcut on the way to merschool and sees a shooting star fall into the ocean, things begin to drift off course…
Suddenly, her mermaid tail begins to shimmer and sparkle. What could it mean? Well for a start, Pearl discovers she can now talk to animals, which comes in very handy when one of her friends is cornered by a hungry reef dragon!
It’s time for a mermazing adventure in Cockleshell Cove!
Did you know …?
- Pearl Periwinkle is based on the author’s best friend, Kate. In fact, all four of the main characters are based on real people!
