Overview

It’s a double dare! Mari A. Fisch, mermaid princess and 256th daughter of King Triton, the ruler of the seas, is sent on land to learn why humans behave the weird ways that they do. When her best friend, Stevie, dares Mari to ride a super-scary roller coaster, Mari learns that sometimes you have to be brave to have fun. But when Stevie’s dares start going too far, Mari must choose between betraying what she believes in or letting down her only friend. It's the second title in an all-new chapter book series from award-winning children’s book author Monica Brown. With black-and-white illustrations on every page, milestone markers throughout, and craft-making activities at the end of each book, Fintastical Tales is the perfect series for any emergent or reluctant reader!

Fish Out of Water Story: Follow a mermaid princess trying to make sense of weird human things like roller coasters, cotton candy, and why anyone would wear shoes. Learning to be Brave: Discover that true bravery isn’t just about riding a scary roller coaster—it’s about standing up for your beliefs, even when it’s hard. Secret Identity: Mari must keep her mermaid magic a secret from her new human friends, with only her blobfish-turned-bulldog guardian to help!
