My name is Leigh. I liked that Eddie tried to be always a smart aleck. And how he said that he would prove that Mrs. Waterford wasn't a mermaid. And whenever they got in the lake, Eddie would try to splash her. And I liked when Eddie pulled Liza in the water.

Mermaids Don't Run Track is a good book for 3-5th graders. The characters are action oriented from the first page, and immediately face two interesting mysteries concerning the camp director and the track coach. The Bailey School kids suspect one is a werewolf and the other a mermaid. The art work is also very good and adds detail and interest to the story. The book is approximately 7,000 words long.

A similar book for the same age group which I would recommend is "Abby and the bicycle caper."

My granddaughter loves this book. She was reading it out loud to my husband and I started listening too. I started laughing at some parts of it. I have ordered her some more. The school library only had a few of them so I ordering her some of her own. I'm just glad she is reading instead of playing video games as much. They got here really fast and were packed really well.

Bought a handful of these chapter books last Christmas for my now 10 and 7 year old children. They really enjoy reading these books and are anxious to read more of the series. These books are great for both boys and girls.

There aree some weird grownups in Bailey city but could the singing track coach with long hair really be a magical mermaid?
