| What does an octopus have to do with mermaids? Read Miri Attwater and the Ocean’s Secret and find out! |
When I came up with the idea to write a book about a girl who didn’t know she was a mermaid, my intention was to write a book that was pure fantasy….
I’m a bit late announcing this on the blog, but I was so thrilled when Reads4Tweens came out with a best books of 2012 list during the holidays. Miri Attwater and the Ocean’s Secret made the list!
Reads4Tweens says Miri Attwater and the Ocean’s Secret is … “a wonderful book for young readers who love mermaids and princesses. It’s in a modern setting, so it’s easy for them to put themselves in Miri’s shoes (fins?).”…
This review is special to me because it’s my first official kid’s review of Miri Attwater and the Ocean’s Secret!
Holly is in 3rd grade. She says, “I like mermaids and I loved the bubble world in the book.”…
V.K. Finnish over at www.vkfinnish.com gave Miri Attwater and the Ocean’s Secret a lovely review and would read it again!
V.K. said “I read Miri Attwater and the Ocean’s Secret with my 3rd grade daughter, and it was a big hit!…The story was … dotted with witty puns to go with the water theme. …[the character] Miri … had such a great spread of silliness about her, original humor, and fun, child-like way of looking at the events around her.”…
It’s in! My first-ever review by a book blogger for Miri Attwater and the Ocean’s Secret!
At Books Complete Me, reviewer Nicole “…had a hard time putting it down….” and gave it a five book stack “Amazing” rating!
