_______________ 'You'll laugh your tail off' - Rob Biddulph _______________ The first book in the hilarious Bad Mermaids series for kids aged 7+, from the bestselling author of Witch Wars Mermaids Beattie, Mimi and Zelda are enjoying a summer on land with legs when they receive a strange CRABAGRAM ordering them to return home at once. Some seriously BAD MERMAIDS are on the loose and the girls are the only ones who can stop them. If theyre going to save the day, theyll need answers. And a clam car.
