Reach for this book when your child expresses frustration with gender stereotypes or feels like they do not fit in with their peers' interests. It is a perfect choice for the young adventurer who would rather explore and solve problems than participate in quiet, traditional play. Spirulina is a high-energy mermaid who rejects her sisters' vanity in favor of becoming a pirate, only to discover that being a 'hero' is much better than being a 'bully.' This early chapter book bridges the gap between picture books and longer fiction with humor and action. It explores themes of self-confidence, identity, and standing up against meanness. Parents will appreciate the way it encourages children to define their own path while maintaining a clear moral compass. It is ideal for children aged 5 to 8 who are ready for independent reading or a fast-paced bedtime story.
