MERMICORNO HC FINTASTIC QUESTS

The first volume of a new, standalone chapter book series in the world of Mermicorno: Starfall (by New York Times bestselling author Kiki Thorpe). After the defeat at Ika's lair and her arrival at the Pearl Palace, Kameko desperately searches for her father, who is missing at sea. But the Royal Mother Pearl warns: the ocean is too dangerous right now.

Staying idle is not an option for Kameko. She begins writing messages in bottles and tossing them into the sea – hoping that one will find her father. Her friend Nautique thinks it is hopeless: the ocean is vast. Kameko loves her Mermicorno friends, but as the only Mermaid-icorno in the group, she sometimes feels excluded: Nautique and Squishella are inseparable, and there is also a special bond between Astra and Gwen. As the Mermicornos make plans to find the Mermicorno Kingdom, Kameko wishes more than ever for a best friend. Can friendship help her find her father again?
