Jasmine and the Treasure Chest

When there's a magical mystery to be solved, the young mermaid detectives are right on the case. The friends volunteer to help the water fairies tend to their underwater gardens. While they work, a fairy tells the sad tale of the beautiful mermaid Aroona and her human love, Sir Topaz. All the mermaids believe the tale—except for Jasmine, who thinks it's just a silly story. But when Jasmine discovers the trail that leads to Aroona's lost treasure, she sets off to discover the truth.

"Familiar themes of friendship, jealousy and bullying abound in this undersea world—with a generous sprinkling of sea jewels and stardust on every page. . . . An alternative for those fairy-loving transitioning readers who are looking for a new magical adventure." —Kirkus Reviews on Rosa and the Water Pony
