The Hunt for the Magic Pearl, Second Edition, is a Middle Grade (MG) youth fantasy that follows the adventure of three mermaid sisters--Shimmer, StarFire, and SeaStar. Long ago mermaids lived in an ancient ocean in a place called Merland. This was a magical place surrounded by all sorts of creatures including every kind of fish imaginable, pods of playful dolphins, the grandest and wisest of whales, magnificent shellfish, and abundant sea treasures. In Merland, the most sought-after treasure by all mermaids was the magic pearl, held by the elusive great oyster. The magic of the pearl was said to offer any mermaid who found it unimaginable beauty and powers. It was the dream and desire of every mermaid princess to find the pearl and become the most powerful queen of Merland. In The Hunt for the Magic Pearl, two beautiful mermaid princesses, along with their tag-a-long little sister, embark on a treasure hunt to find the pearl. During their quest, Shimmer, StarFire, and scared little SeaStar experience many exciting and dangerous feats. Together they must find the courage and wisdom to outwit a monstrous, blood-thirsty she-shark and her band of mermaid killers. This classroom-ready book with a center fold of mermaid trivia doubles as a worthy bedtime tale. Filled with colorful illustrations and an accompanying glossary, this diverse children's fantasy (Part One of a Series) promises to capture the hearts and imagination of young girls, parents, teachers, and the young at heart.

While journeying to the mer-kingdom, Lumina, a mermaid with magical powers over pearls, discovers that she is a princess.
