The successful team behind the Unicorn Academy series have done it again! Amber and Flash is the newest, exciting, addition to the Mermaid Academy series.

In this story set in Mermaid Academy, a magical school where mermaids are paired with their very own dolphin, Amber is enjoying their school trip to The Shining Sea. Flash, her dolphin, wishes she'd pay more attention! Then the evil Mal Mer show up with a horrible plan. Amber and Flash will have to work together to carry out a daring rescue!

This wonderful fourth book in the Mermaid Academy series continues the theme of working together and friendship. It is beautifully pitched at the 7+ early chapter book reader with a glittery cover, carefully spaced text and detailed black and white images throughout.

In school, this would be the prefect compliment to any reading scheme as a reading for pleasure novel. It will inspire the imagination and create discussions about the link between our actions and the nature around us.
