The brave young Crystal Keepers were so glad that Mantora hadn’t been able to wreck the reef or their vital journey home. But the mermaids didn’t know when or where she would be lurking next. It was going to take all their strength and courage to get the precious crystals back to Coral Kingdom in time.
Holly took a deep breath and plunged after Tobias and the turtles.
“Come on, Sisters of the Sea,” she called. “Let’s go!”
Mermaid Sisters of the Sea
Misty has flowing blonde hair and a shimmering pink tail. Misty is a really determined and brave mermaid.
Ellie is very caring and loves seabirds. She has long, wavy dark hair and a glittering purple tail.
Sophie has funky fair hair and a blazing, bright orange tail, which helps her to swim super fast.
Holly has sweet, short black hair and a dazzling yellow tail. Holly is very thoughtful and clever.
Scarlett has fabulous, thick dark hair and a gleaming red tail. She can be a little bit bossy and headstrong sometimes.
Lucy has fiery red hair and an emerald green tail, but don’t let that fool you—she is really quite shy.
