It’s all a lot more interesting than the average primary school, and Orla’s story in particular involves Marnie in a very exciting adventure.The set up allows for lots of fun and games, friendly and not-so-friendly rivalry, and a gentle emphasis on the importance of fair play. We work closely with publishers and authors to ensure that we offer the best books on the market for your child. STARS I picked this up on a whim as the title popped up when I was entering my review for the picture book Mermaid School (which was adorable).

All profits from our events and parties support Zanzibar Schools Project, an initiative set up by Brighton and Hove Soiree Rotary Club.

I also wasn't a huge fan of some of the illustrations (the mermaids are okay but the ocean creatures not so much) but on the whole it was charming enough for me to seek out the next one in the series. In this episode, mermaid Marnie Blue and her friends have a new PE teacher, Mr Marlin, aka snarlin’ Marlin, motto ‘if you don’t come first, you lose! Even though Marnie is sweet and tries her best to fit in, a mermaid named Orla seems intent on getting her in trouble.

But when they get lost on a school trip and Maya can’t magic a Bubble Tunnel home, things get very serious indeed!and the teachers (I think, unfairly) assume Marnie might be trouble herself and keep a close eye on her -- even though Marnie takes after her mom in being very well-behaved. Mermaid School is the first in an exciting new series written by Lucy Courtenay and illustrated by Sheena Dempsey, following the adventures of Marnie Blue and friends.
