Holly Takes a Risk

This fun and light new series is about the Sisters of the Sea, mermaids who live in the underwater Coral Kingdom. With shiny foil and adorable mermaids on every cover, this series is sure to entice even the most reluctant chapter book reader. The stories focus on six mermaid friends who've been sent by their mermaid Queen, Neptuna, to retrieve six magic crystals. Along the way, an evil mermaid named Mantora has set traps for the mermaids that wreak havoc for the ocean and the creatures that live it in. The determined mermaids must foil Neptuna's attempts, and also help protect and save the ocean life throughout their mission.

Gillian Shields is the author of several books for children including The Actual Real Reality of Jennifer James and the picture book The Starlight Baby. Mermaid S.O.S. is her first series for Bloomsbury.
