In Cockleshell Cove there is mischief and adventure in the water!

As Pearl and her best friends Shell, Coral, and Sandy discover their secret powers and learn to use them, they leave no starfish unturned in order to solve four undersea mysteries.

A hungry reef dragon, a confused giant turtle, a thieving rainbow fish, and the mysterious Count Frumplesquid are no match for these sea-sational super-sleuths.

Four fully illustrated adventures, full of laughs and heart, perfect for young readers.

Includes the first four MerTales books in one great box: The Best Friend Promise, The Daring Reef Rescue, The Great Treasure Hunt, and The Mysterious Rainbow Thief.

About the Author

Rebecca Timmis is an author-illustrator from the sunny Gold Coast. Before she started writing magical and adventurous stories, Rebecca wrote code for websites (which is not nearly as exciting). She's had lots of real-life adventures like almost falling off the Great Wall of China, hiding from grizzly bears in Canada and being chased by giant pigs in outback Queensland. When Rebecca isn't writing or drawing, she's working hard to turn her rambunctious three boys into polite members of society or watching superhero movies with her.
