AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Oona is a seriously curious mermaid, living in the depths of the ocean. Often she gets into mischief, especially when she is hunting for treasure. It’s the crown, however, which has escaped her, because it has fallen into the deep, dark, rift. With the help of her otter friend Otto, she keeps trying, but it will take a lot of ingenuity and a bit of luck to grasp it.
Oona has a sincerely gorgeous afro! And Figueroa’s illustrations show it to high advantage. The oceanscapes will have you yearning for the beach. Add Oona to your picture books about creativity and grit.
