Emerald and the Ocean Parade

Book Synopsis

Beautifully illustrated in two colours, this NEW series from the world of Isadora Moon introduces Isadora’s mermaid friend, Emerald!

Emerald is learning how to be a mermaid princess, but she doesn’t feel like one at all. She’s not very good at waving to crowds and royal headdresses just aren’t her thing – her hair is too spiky and wild. Emerald’s wriggly pet octopus, Inkibelle, doesn’t much like living at the royal palace either. The annual Ocean Parade is coming up. Will Emerald be brave enough to be a mermaid princess but do it her own, special way?

Isadora Moon is such a popular series with early readers and is known for flying off the shelves in KS1 classrooms and libraries. We can’t help feeling that Emerald and her underwater world will also make waves with children looking for first chapter books.

Our Review Panel says...

Emerald and the Sea Sprites is a fun, short chapter book about a mermaid princess. With green and black illustrations, we follow Emerald on and adventure to learn how to be a mermaid princess in her own style at the Ocean Parade. There’s also a pet octopus called Inkibelle. It’s a lovely story about identity and finding what matters. In the same world as Isadora Moon and Mirabelle, Emerald will be loved by fans of those books.
