Book Overview
Sometimes Real Life Is Just As Exciting As Comic-Book Adventures!
Mermaid Warrior Squad is Karin Adams’ fifth book for young readers. With her usual humour and knack for getting to the heart of real-world, real-kid friendships, this summer arts camp-themed story unfolds in short, snappy chapters along with an exciting... ‘comic book’ subplot!
