Melody the Mermaid — Valerie Taylor

Melody is a confident, adventurous young mermaid, the daughter of the king and queen of the Kingdom of Pearl. While her seven mersisters all have golden curls, Melody's long hair is a beautiful shade of green.

Melody's adventurous nature -- and her unusual looks -- get her into trouble when she goes looking for her friend Leafy, a young leafy sea dragon who's gone missing. Melody sees Leafy being lured away by two moray eels. Soon Leafy gets caught in a dangerous current and is carried away.

Melody must rescue Leafy. To do so, she has to leave the safety of her own kingdom and venture far into other kingdoms of the sea. In her brave but potentially foolish quest to save Leafy Melody faces dangerous challenges, including being caught in a net, a trap set by a menacing hermit crab.

Children of all ages will be cheering for Melody as she seeks to save her friend Leafy and return home safely to the Kingdom of Pearl.

Written and artfully illustrated by world famous Australian undersea explorer and film maker Valerie Taylor, this book is a collector's edition sure to be a favorite by adventure lovers of all ages.
