Wet Magic by E. Nesbit, H.R. Millar

3.0

Wet Magic is a Nesbit book which I didn't read as a child. They are rather twee, but I do (still) enjoy her work. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, Wet Magic follows a similar pattern to many of her other books, in that a group of rather well-to-do siblings discover something otherworldly or unusual - in this case, a mermaid - and are put in a situation of mild peril before the happy-for-all outcome, in which said children put things right with their unwavering courage and determination. I definitely preferred the first half of the book to the second, and probably would have enjoyed it more had I still been a small person.
