Customer Reviews

I wish there were more of these books.

Plot Synopis: Attina has never really been interested in boys before, but her sisters note one day that she is attracted to a boy at the library. There are two boys who look just alike working there; however, their personalities are nowhere near the same. Adella and the others decide Attina is interested in the outgoing party boy and scheme to hook her up with him. But at the same time, her real love interest goes after Adella instead! The girls must find a way to get Attina and the real boy of her dreams together without hurting anyone. Like all of the books in this particular novel series, the story focuses on all of the sisters equally, which is what attracted me to this book in the first place. I am a HUGE fan of Ariel's six older sisters. There are pretty black and white illustrations placed throughout the book. The story itself is easy enough for kids to understand, but adults will enjoy reading it too; I certainly did. It's a lot of fun--I've read it over countless times! I recommend this book series to any Little Mermaid fan.
