This was a very fun middle grade book that gave me a lot of Percy Jackson vibes! The writing is humorous and aware of what it's shooting for. Tolson really liked playing with the typical hero's journey. Also, there's a death that happens in this book, but I can't say I believe said death. The dead person better not be dead!

I think my biggest complaint is that it didn't really feel like Tiny ever developed. His character felt to me like it started and ended the same. There was also friction between him and Nalia that never truly felt resolved.

Aside from those bumps, I think it'd be a very fun series to take up if you like the vibes of Percy Jackson. I'm excited to see where this series goes!

This book is amazing for children that are beggining to read more serious books, with more text and less drawings. The story itself is captative and the recipe in the end made me want to try it in the kitchen!

Who doesn’t love a good mermaid tale! This was delightful and chock full of beautiful illustrations. I know mermaid lovers young and old will be swept away by this adorable tale
