Bad Mermaids: On Thin Ice

Bad Mermaids #3

by Sibéal Pounder, Jason Cockcroft (Illustrator)

In the kingdom of Frostopia, mermaids Beattie, Mimi and Zelda have come to the aid of Maritza Mist, a famous water witch who supplies magic spells to the underwater kingdoms. Two notoriously bad mermaids have escaped from Viper View prison and stolen Maritza's map that shows the locations of twelve magical objects. When brought together, these objects will create the most powerful water witch the world has ever known. Beattie, Mimi and Zelda set off to travel the underwater kingdoms to stop them. But they haven't counted on meeting a bunch of over-zealous spies, the oldest shark in the world or their faithful companion Steve the seahorse going rogue ... On Thin Ice is the third book in the hilarious Bad Mermaids series from the superbly witty and creative Sibéal Pounder, author of Witch Wars and a World Book Day author for 2019.

Reviews

[Eve L-A Witherington]

In this book the regular gang are back but as spy Meri tries to locate the same item as them it's a race against time to beat the bad guys Rose and Gulper to all the statues they need.



I always enjoy a trip to the undersea world and I also enjoyed how we got to see Steve the seahorse find his real seahorse family this time and discover who he truly is which was no short of fascinating or disappointing! I hope we get more of these great adventures the gang is constantly evolving making friends and being more awesome every time!

The newest book in the Bad mermaids series and boy I enjoyed it so so much! This time a lot more magic, secrets, a happy reunion for Steve, immortals and a hunt for statues, madcap adventures with our mermaids, we meet spy mermaids (yes really), we see new realms and learn of new ways to travel to these lands, which include cute axalotls and plenty of vending machines. I hope for more Bad Mermaids but given the ending wondering if there will be more. Lovely illustrations as always.
