Book Synopsis

In the second book in the heavily illustrated chapter book series, Cora the irrepressible third grade mermaid and friends are looking for narwhals!

When Cora reads a short story she wrote about a narwhal in her English class, Vivian Shimmermore mocks her and says that everyone knows that narwhals are fake. Suddenly Cora and her friends are embarking on an exciting quest to find these not-so-mythical creatures and prove Vivian wrong. And then, Cora finds out that their adventures could actually win her the top prize in the Ocean Writes contest... if she can manage to write the whole story down before the deadline!

About the Author

Peter Raymundo was 21 years old when he went to work for Walt Disney Studios as part of their Feature Animation Division. There he drew (and drew and drew) for films such as Tarzan, Lilo & Stitch and Mulan. To this day, he says he can draw Mulan's two friends Ling and Chien Po as easily as he can write his own name! Pete is the author of the picture book The Monkey and the Bee and Third Grade Mermaid is his debut chapter book series. His favorite part about working on Third Grade Mermaid was diving into the ocean research. Pete says: "Besides offering a naturally unique cast of characters, the ocean's timeless beauty and diversity provides an endless backdrop for fun and meaningful stories." Pete and his family live in Celebration, Florida.
