Whatever After: Sink or Swim #3

Author and illustrated by Sarah Mlynowski

There goes Abby and Jonah and this time they meet the little mermaid but this version  isn't your typical "Happily Ever After THE END" and does the little mermaid get her voice back in the original version? Also they have a lot of things to do:

• Convince the Little Mermaid to keep her tail
• Plan a Royal wedding
• and simply avoid getting EATEN BY SHARKS!!!!!

IT IS A LOT TO EXPLAIN that's why YOU need to read this book.

In my opinion this book is  fun, sad, cool, and amazing, (and a bit weird and disgusting.)  

I think this book is suitable for year 4-6 if they can handle it.
