Get ready for some mermaid magic!

Mermaid princess Mari A. Fisch is on a top secret, superspecial mission: Go on land, become human, and figure out why humans do the weird things they do. Particularly, why do people pollute? But when Mari has traded in her tail for toes, she finds the human world totally confusing! Will Mari be able to complete her mission, save the world undersea, and stay true to herself?

It’s an all-new chapter book series from the 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!

A Mermaid on a Mission: Princess Mari leaves her underwater home for the strange world of humans! Her goal: figure out why they keep polluting the sea and how to make them stop. Fish-Out-of-Water Hijinks: From mistaking plastic bags for ghosts to causing a cafeteria-wide puke-a-thon, Mari’s first days on land are fintastically funny. Heartwarming Friendships: Mari teams up with her new human friend, Stevie, to take on the “popular kids” and prove that being unique is the coolest thing of all.
