Mermaids Rock: The Floating Forest


This wonderful chapter book for 7-9 year olds will be a hit with young mermaid fans. 

The Save the Sea Creatures Club are a group of five mermaids and their aquatic pets, who try to look after the oceans and all the animals living in them. In The Floating Forest, Coralie finds a treasure map in a Kelp Forest which leads the friends to adventure, magic and averting an ecological disaster.  

The Floating Forest is fun and engaging, with some very silly puns. The characters are diverse and unique, combining their love of marine wildlife, science and having adventures into a friendship group young readers will want to be part of.

It will appeal to fans of the Rainbow Fairies or Holly Webb books, and has been really popular with my daughter who is too young to read it independently, but enjoyed listening to the story. I would definitely buy her future stories in this series. 

Ortega's artwork is beautiful and brings the story to life. I also loved the animal welfare facts that can be found throughout. 

Thank you Little Tiger Group for sending me a copy of Mermaids Rock: The Floating Forest to review. 

The Floating Forest is written by Linda Chapman and illustrated by Mirelle Ortega
