mehsi's review against another edition

My Lord, this was a cringefest. Shelly finds out she is a princess and totally goes haywire. Really, can't you think for a moment more? Instead of panicking and then also do those things? OMG, yes, you are a princess, and yes one day you will have to do duties. But really, did you think you would just be plucked out of your home because YOU suddenly find out you are a princess?
HAHAHAHAHA *rolls off her chair* *snorts* Oh my word. *snorts more* She also gets pissy at her poor grandfather, well I can clearly see why he never told her anything. If this is her reaction to it, I wouldn't have said anything either. I did think it was pretty stupid of that teacher to just say that stuff out loud without asking Shelly first. And then there is that silly mollusk stuff happening that just made me roll my eyes. Good grief. Really, this book. I hope this isn't an indication for the series going downhill. I will give it one more book, and hope it is back to normal.

I read this with my kids and it was a really good book with a strong message about being who you are and sticking to your own principles. Not to mention, it had amazing oceanic vocabulary with creative names. I kind of wish I'd started The Mermaid Tales in book one, but it was my daughter's library book choice. So, we will be starting soon with the other books if we can find them.
Shelly Siren lives in Trident City with her Grandfather and best friends. She's lived there all her life and enjoyed her life. One day, a teacher reveals that she's a princess and has proof from the genealogical records. She's a princess of the Western Ocean. Shelly didn't want to be a princess, she just wanted to be a regular mermaid. Peer pressure makes her question herself, but her grandfather and her friends remind her of who she is. Just Shelly Siren, a third-grade mermaid.
