Evie and her best friend Dr Dino are enjoying a family day out at the beach. There are waves to splash in and pretty shells to collect but...will they see a mermaid? Evie and Dr Dino set out on an adventure to find out.
They scour the rockpools, build a submarine to take them out to sea, explore a kelp forest and a mangrove but still no mermaid! Fortunately they find lots of other sea creatures instead and we learn about the tiny worm pipefish that hasn't any teeth, the clever dolphins that communicate with whistles and clicks, and the huge blue whale (and its equally huge poo!). We also learn about the coral reefs endangered by climate change, and the pollution destroying these watery habitats.
At the back of the book there is a super double page fold-out section with a world map of the oceans, and a useful glossary of words. Part story, part fact book, this is a brilliantly informative and entertaining look at the creatures that live in our oceans and seas to inspire young marine biologists.
Meet Evie and her best friend, Dr Dino. Evie asks lots of questions. Luckily, Dr Dino is there to answer them all. Evie really, really wants to meet a mermaid. So, she and Dr Dino set out on an ocean adventure. Along the way they encounter amazing creatures in rockpools, learn fascinating facts, like what anchovies eat and how dolphins talk to each other, find out about the importance of protecting our oceans, and discover what it really means to be a mermaid.

Rosalind Spark lives in south London and fell in love with stories when she was very small and constantly pestered her dad to make up sequels to her favourite fairy tales. Her writing is inspired by the many things in life she finds fascinating, which range from how the galaxy works to why sandwiches cut in triangles taste better
