It is Marnie Blue’s very first day at Lady Sealia Foam’s Mermaid School, and she’s terrified. What if she can’t make any new friends, or if she’s asked to ride a seahorse? What’s more, her famous diva aunt Christabel was a notorious rebel at the same school, and got up to all sorts of naughtiness. Marnie is soon branded a troublemaker by her grumpy octopus music teacher and wants nothing more than to clam up. But when a fellow pupil finds herself in danger, it’s up to Marnie to show that daring runs in the family and swim to the rescue. Filled with fabulous fishy fun, Mermaid School is perfect for fans of Unicorn Academy and Dork Diaries!

Marnie Blue has settled into Lady Sealia Foam’s Mermaid School and become best friends with Pearl and Orla. And now might be her chance to shine – the Clamshell Show is coming!

But a new mermaid wins the role, and at rehearsal she’s more trouble than a tiger shark with a toothache. What’s more, Mermaid Lagoon has an unwelcome visitor dropping by. Will the show go on?

Marnie Blue and her friends are horrified to discover they have a new P.E. teacher at Mermaid School, and he’s very keen to improve everyone’s fitness. Worse, he’s bringing back the Golden Glory sports day. It’s a turtle disaster! Marnie, Pearl and Orla are put into the same team to compete in ultra fishball, the obstacle relay and the seahorse riding events. But someone has a fishy plot to win all the prizes. Can Marnie stop the cheater from ruining Golden Glory Day?
