Description:

King Neptune has fifty extraordinary mermaid daughters, each one celebrated for her own special talent—except little Minnow, who seems to be good at nothing but asking endless questions. "Why don't crabs have fins?" "Where do bubbles go?" "What lies beyond the kingdom?" Then one quiet day, a single red shoe drifts down from the world above, the loveliest thing Minnow has ever seen. With no one able to tell her what it is, she sets off on a brave journey to find out for herself—through coral forests and sea-horse company, all the way up to the mysterious surface. What she discovers there changes everything. K.G. Campbell's gentle, fairy-tale writing and dreamy watercolour-and-pencil illustrations of soft blues, drifting hair and shimmering bubbles make this a magical celebration of curiosity, courage and learning to believe in your own quiet gifts.
