Oona is one determined little mermaid, but she faces her biggest challenge yet in trying to make friends with Stanley the shark. Whatever will she do A fun-filled and gorgeously illustrated celebration of friendship, creativity and perseverance.
Oona loves to share her inventions with her friends. Theyre big and bold and loud just like her!
But theres one underwater creature who doesnt seem to enjoy Oonas company, or her creations.
And thats Stanley the shark!
Oonas latest hopping, chopping and popping inventions just make him angry.
Oona may not know what Stanley likes, but she does know what he doesnt. And maybe thats a good place to start. Because mermaids never stop trying . . . not when theres a friend out there to make.
