Author: Debbie Dadey Pages: 128 Summary(goodreads.com): Kiki Coral can see the future;can she save a friend from his dangerous fate? Kiki Coral has an amazing gift: she can see the future. She doesn't have visions very often, but they are always surprising! When Kiki sees a vision of her classmate Rocky Ridge coming face-to-frightening-face with a gigantic leatherback turtle, she is frightened to the tip of her shiny purple tail. Can Kiki save Rocky from his dangerous fate? What if no one in Trident Academy believes her scary prediction?
My Review: First, I wanted to know more about when Kiki first got her visions. How old was she? What was her first vision? I did love some of the themes and concepts in this book. I loved how it teaches children about trusting their friends, and how to work on a team, I also love that the leatherback turtle's endangered status was mentioned. Later on in the story, Pearl forces Kiki to work on their project using plastic bags. How would they know what this is, if they are confused about items in the people museum? The mergirls always question what human items are since they never see them every day. This wasn't a very exciting Mermaid Tale, and Marvin the sea turtle, which was the most anticipated sea creature, only appeared for 2 pages! I give this book (**) 2 stars. -Sirenita The Selkie
