Mermaid Queen



Corey, Shana. Mermaid Queen. Scholastic Press: 2009. ISBN: 9780439698351.

Mermaid Queen is a story about a girl who lived in Australia. Her mom and dad were both music teachers. But there was one thing wrong, she had braces on her legs. So her dad taught her to swim, then she would speed through the waters . When she got older, she invented the bathing suit for women. She would jump off the diving board and make up new tricks. The art in the story is really colorful. It is done in painted illustrations and photographs. I recommend it to girls ages 7-13 who are interested in swimming.
