I love mermaids, all mermaids, good and bad but especially fun and heroic! Meet Beattie, Mimi and Zelda, they are the coolest, sassiest, bravest mermaids in Hidden Lagoon!

Realizing that they may have the upper hand in finding the queen who has been “fishnapped” and keeping their kingdom safe, these three along with their silly sidekick, a seahorse named Steve, embark on a magical adventure of hilarious and heroic proportions that is sure to please.
Funny, audacious and very exciting, “Bad Mermaids Make Waves” is the perfect beach read for those readers who love headstrong heroines, risk-taking mermaids and underwater mysteries!
