Oona and her best friend Otto love to search for treasure… and often find trouble instead. Messy trouble. Tricky trouble. Even shark-related trouble. That’s never stopped them before, though! After all, no proper treasure hunt is without some adventure. But when the grandest treasure yet is stuck in a deep, dark rift, Oona’s not sure if she can dive right in. What might be waiting for her in those unknown waters?
Bestselling author Kelly DiPucchio and illustrator Raissa Figueroa introduce Oona — the big wide sea’s littlest mischief-maker — in this comical and heartfelt picture book is a winning celebration of invention, creativity, and friendship. With gorgeous underwater scenes and a crowd-pleasing tale, this is one little mermaid who is here to make a splash!
"Oona is an adorable protagonist, with her dark skin, enormous Afro, and striped, orange tail. With her ups and downs and her fundamental ebullience, she will easily win fans.... [and] the messages of persistence and of valuing the work of one’s own creation are strong and effective." — Kirkus Reviews
