(4) 1-3 Third-grade mermaid Cora needs to pass a spelling test to stay on the Singing Sirens swim team, so she writes in her diary (this book) to practice. During the predictable story, Cora befriends a shrimp (who's not-so-shrimpy in size) and learns a secret behind the Sirens. Cora is a spunky protagonist, though her snarky voice isn't always believably childlike. Raymundo's blue-tinged illustrations fill the text-light pages.
