About This Book

Echo Reef is tail-flipping with excitement when she find a human object. But when her older sister claims the object for her own, how far will Echo go to reclaim it?

Our Review

When two mermaid sisters discover a mysterious human object, their rivalry over this fascinating treasure creates an underwater adventure that explores sibling dynamics with magical flair. Young readers will dive deep into this aquatic world where everyday sisterly squabbles take on fantastical proportions, blending family conflict with marine fantasy in a way that feels both extraordinary and relatable. The story captures that universal childhood experience of wanting something your sibling has, while introducing the wonder of human artifacts through mermaid eyes. This mermaid tale series continues to deliver engaging stories that make family issues accessible through fantasy elements.

What sets this installment apart is how authentically it portrays the complex emotions between sistersβ€”the mixture of love, jealousy, and competition that defines so many sibling relationships. Children navigating their own family dynamics will recognize the very real feelings driving Echo's actions, even as the story unfolds in an enchanting underwater kingdom. The marine fantasy setting provides just enough distance for readers to reflect on their own experiences while remaining completely immersed in the narrative. This combination of emotional truth and imaginative world-building makes the story particularly valuable for readers who enjoy character-driven adventures with heart.
