Join Sweetpea Magee, the world's ULTIMATE mermaid expert, as she sets off on a fun-filled adventure to teach you absolutely everything there is to know about mermaids. Mermaids are Sweetpea's specialist subject, and she wants to help you become an expert too!

From super-strong river mermaids to synchronized-swimming mermen, follow along as she introduces you to her flippered friends and their unique personalities, even opening up her top-secret notebook of mermaid fact files.

Yet we soon discover that the world's top expert still has a little more to learn. There's one type of mermaid that even Sweetpea hasn't seen, but with you by her side, she's ready to start searching.

Hold tight as she defeats an ogre, a dragon, a goblin, and a witch, to find the rarest mermaid of them all - the elusive, spectacular, never-seen-before Cave Mermaid. In a final twist, readers will discover that the magic of these creatures is closer to home than they might think...

Written and illustrated by rising star Rhian Wright, children will love following daydreamer Sweetpea and poring over her fact-packed notebook in this joyful celebration of imaginative play.

Uncover a world of wonder and mermaid magic with Sweetpea Magee: Mermaid Expert!

About the Author

Rhian Wright lives with her husband, two children and a very miserable cat called Margaret in Cardiff. Inspired by the outside world, she creates fun, expressive images of diverse characters, focusing on connection and emotion. As a reluctant reader, illustrations were how Rhian accessed stories. She hopes her books help children develop a lifelong love of stories and make sense of things they may not understand, but most importantly have fun!
