A secret pond. A silver scale. A mermaid who needs help before her hidden world is lost forever.
The Secret Mermaid in the School Pond is a magical children's adventure about friendship, courage, curiosity, and the strange wonders that may be hiding in the most ordinary places.
When Lily Hart arrives at Brackenmere Primary, everything feels unfamiliar. New classroom. New corridors. New faces. Then she hears something impossible from the pond behind the gym.
A sound like glass.
A shimmer under the water.
A silver scale caught beneath the willow tree.
With the help of Amina, her clever new friend, Lily discovers that the school pond is more than a muddy corner of the playground. It is the last window to a hidden waterway beneath the school, and inside it lives Mira Nix, a sharp-tongued mermaid who is trapped, frightened, and running out of time.
The old stream beneath Brackenmere is blocked. The adults think the pond only needs a safety inspection. But if the wrong drain is cleared, Mira may lose her way home forever.
Now Lily and Amina must follow old maps, secret signs, forgotten Nature Club records, strange water sounds, and the mystery of the spring bell before the hidden brook is damaged for good.
Inside this magical illustrated story, readers will discover:
- A mysterious mermaid living in a school pond
- A brave new girl learning to trust her own quiet courage
- A loyal friendship between two curious children
- A hidden world beneath an ordinary school
- Old maps, secret water paths, strange clues, and a forgotten spring bell
- A gentle message about protecting small wild places
- Black and white illustrations at the beginning of each chapter
Perfect for young readers who love mermaids, school mysteries, magical secrets, nature adventures, and stories where ordinary places turn out to be extraordinary.
This is a warm, mysterious, and heart-filled children's fantasy adventure for confident young readers and for families, teachers, and classrooms to enjoy aloud.
