Meet Isadora Moon's mermaid friend, Emerald! Emerald is learning how to be a mermaid princess, but there are just so many rules. She loves having fun with her friends and exploring her underwater world with her pet octopus, Inkibelle, she doesn't want to be stuck in the palace with everyone looking at her and checking that she's doing things the proper, royal way. In Emerald and the Pearly Turtles, the rare pearly turtle migration is due to pass right over Scallop City for the first time in fifty years! Emerald is so excited that she agrees to watch it with her friends, her Mum and Stepdad King Auster, and her Dad and his girlfriend Sirena-all at the same time.
Emerald spends all day whizzing around but being in three places all at once is impossible! Will she make her own wish come true and get close to these magical creatures, or will they pass her by altogether? Illustrated throughout in sea green and black, Emerald is perfect for readers who are looking for a first chapter book with a splash of wildness and wonder.
