Summer-Schooled by a Merman, August 30, 2009
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Merman (Paperback)
This story is about a girl named Zeta who is on vacation in Scotland with her family. One day she goes down to the beach and discovers a merman named Marinus. From that day on, Marinus teaches her everything from French to swimming. But finally the day comes when she has to go back home. Marinus gives her a gift that will last her a a lifetime. Read this book to find out what it is!
I am a fifth grader and I thought this was a pretty good story that was easy to read. I recommend it to anyone in 3rd grade and up. I would probably read it again because it is one of my favorite types of books: adventure and fun-filled.

Beautiful story about a wise father figure - Caution SPOILER, September 14, 2010
This review is from: The Merman (Paperback)
I read this to my 5 year old one chapter a night for a week. It is a very kind story which introduces the Merman as a father figure and a little girl who learns to swim and learns french waking in the early mornings. In one of the chapters near the end (caution SPOILER) the merman's daughter comes to meet the girl and tell her that he has passed away. I and my daughter cried a bit, so be ready for it with small children.
Overall a wonderful book.
