Overview
Bad Mermaids Meet the Witches is a hilarious World Book Day 2019 crossover adventure from Sibéal Pounder, bringing together the mischievous mermaids of her Bad Mermaids series with the spell-casting stars of Witch Wars. Once every hundred years, the Hidden Lagoon and Sinkville throw a joint celebration, but when a mermaid is swept unexpectedly into witch territory before the party even begins, chaos, magic and megalodon-sized mishaps quickly follow. Perfect for fans of funny, fast-paced fantasy, this pocket-sized paperback is an ideal introduction to both beloved series.

About the Book
Once every one hundred years, the mermaids of the Hidden Lagoon and the witches of Sinkville come together for a spectacular party. The Top Witch greets the Mermaid Queen, who arrives paraded through the streets of Sinkville in a bathtub, and excitement fills the air on both sides of the lagoon. Mermaids Beattie, Mimi and Zelda are especially thrilled, having never met a real witch before, and they can hardly wait for the festivities to begin. But before the celebrations properly start, Tiga is unexpectedly sucked down the plughole and pulled straight into the Hidden Lagoon, and from that moment things begin to go magically, marvellously, megalodon-sharkally wrong. Sibéal Pounder brings together characters from her brilliant, bonkers, bestselling Bad Mermaids and Witch Wars series for a once-in-a-lifetime World Book Day adventure that blends underwater mischief with witchy chaos. Illustrated throughout in playful black-and-white artwork, this compact paperback is designed to be devoured in one sitting, making it a fantastic choice for reluctant readers, World Book Day gifting, or anyone who loves a fast, funny, fantastical romp.
