1-3Mermaid Tales series.
Illustrated by
Tatevik Avakyan.
In Trouble, mermaids Shelly and Echo are excited for their school year at Trident Academy, but an argument and an intrusive classmate test their friendship. In Battle, Echo is invited to Pearl's birthday party but Shelly isn't; she must decide how best to handle the situation. While the dialogue in these first series installments falls flat, the black-and-white illustrations are charming. Glos. Review covers these Mermaid Tales titles: Battle of the Best Friends and Trouble at Trident Academy.
