Thora's no ordinary girl. She's got scales on her legs, purple feet, and a blowhole that squirts water from the top of her head. Thora's a half-mermaid. And as mermaid law commands, Thora must spend... This description may be from another edition of this product.
My 6 yo daughter wanted to read the Emily Windsap (?) series, and so i purchased them and read them in advance - so glad i did because i found them full of middle school angst (cliquey girls, 'whose your best friend') and so was delighted to find the Thora books - just reading the first one, but it is much lighter and age appropriate for my young mermaid lover.
Happy 8 Year Old

Bought THORA for my 8 year old daughter last week because she is a big fan of EMILY WINDSNAP. It arrived on a rainy afternoon--perfect time. My daughter didn't stop reading until she was done. We had to go to the book store the next day and buy the others in the series (our library doesn't carry them).
This is a great read for girls ages 8-11!

Thora: A Half-Mermaid Tale is a delightful combination of comedy, adventure, and fantasy. Thora hereself is a unique character who brings fun whenever she shows up. Gillian Johnson slipped in many fun, witty lines that add humor to the book. There is a whole menagerie of delightful characters. Also, the comedy/fantasy turns into a mystery/adventure when Thora, with the help of her new friends, must rescue her mother. Overall, an excellent read for fans of authors such as Gail Carson Levine, and Roald Dahl! Enjoy!
