Mayim Mermaid Academy is the UK’s mermaid academy, with mermaids and mermen travelling across the world and throughout the whole of the UK to have a mermaid experience with Mermaid MerShell and team at the academy. There will be lots of fun things to do, like playing with the water catapult and singing round the bubble fire. There are three distinct stages within the Academy, so children can progress to more advanced mermaiding tricks and techniques after they’ve covered the basics. You see I have two older sisters who went to the same school as me (they had just left by the time I started). The ending annoyed me (would've been a solid four stars, otherwise) because it seemed to introduce a plot element and character development that, IMO, was rather unnecessary to the plot and left us with a new-thread-to-be-developed-in-future-book (?

Established by Founder and Director Michelle Forsbrey in 2015, Mayim Mermaid Academy has trained over 2000 mermaids and mermen and offers a wide variety of bespoke mermaid experiences. I’ve seen and heard of children being compared to their older siblings or family members, just based on their relation to one another. It’s possible to bring your own mermaid tail and fin if you have them, but we ask that you sign a disclaimer form before the session begins.The set up allows for lots of fun and games, friendly and not-so-friendly rivalry, and a gentle emphasis on the importance of fair play. Even though Marnie is sweet and tries her best to fit in, a mermaid named Orla seems intent on getting her in trouble. That isn’t fair, because everyone is different, and often siblings are very different from one another. The whole story has a satisfying ending and a fun twist in the very last chapter, which although I did predict, may not be spotted by younger readers, and it certainly does make me want to read more about one character in particular (though I don’t know if we will in future books). Her famous aunt Christobel Blue had a reputation at school and Marnie’s worried about how the teachers, and other mermaids, will treat her.

Unfortunately for her, her aunt’s reputation for being a bit of trouble maker is strong, and it isn’t long before Marnie finds herself the centre of attention for the wrong reasons. Her desk drawers are full of half-finished stories waiting for the right moment to emerge and dance around her study in a shower of exuberant paperclips. This is book three in the Mermaid School series which is already a firm favourite with lots of young readers.At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills. By the end of the lesson they’ll be able to swim with a specially designed fin and tail – we supply all the equipment needed for the sessions.

But when a fellow pupil finds herself in danger, it's up to Marnie to show that daring runs in the family and swim to the rescue.

The book is the first in a series and I can see it being very popular as Mermaids seem to be everywhere at the moment.

Everything from the school (in a cave) to the furniture, food and lighting is all something to do with the sea, such as fish used as lamps, or a clam shell bed, moss pillow, etc. This fabulously fishy and fun adventure is the first in a new series and just perfect for fans of The Worst Witch, Bad Mermaids and the My Secret Unicorn series. But when they get lost on a school trip and Maya can’t magic a Bubble Tunnel home, things get very serious indeed!Filled with fabulous fishy fun, this is the perfect oppor-tuna-ty for fans of Unicorn Academy, Malory Towers and Dork Diaries to find their new favourite series!
