'Second book in the delightful series about Thora, the half-mermaid with a blowhole on the top of her head, and Shirley, the green sea-unicorn. It doesn't take long for Thora to find her feet in London, Mr Walters' home town. Or to hook up with former movie star, Pamela, who just happens to also be a mermaid. But life in the big smoke grinds to a halt when the family's houseboat, the Loki, is stolen and Thora's very special new friend Shirley goes missing. Fortunately, Mr Walters' old friends down at Snug House bail them out with an invitation to their country estate. But as Thora soon discovers, life at Snug House comes with its own set of problems and complications, including money worries and a nerdy girl in spectacles named Louella. With Thora's help, the fortunes of Snug House turn around, but the unfinished business in London still needs resolving . Ages 7-10 years' (Publication summary)

With the help of some mysterious crystals, Thora the half-mermaid brings a special sparkle to her third and final adventure ... She and her family have reached the shores of Flinders Island near Tasmania, the birthplace of Cosmo, her pet peacock - but what has happened to his relatives? When Thora's guardian, Mr Walters, has trouble with his back, he and Thora end up at the nearby Deep Breath Hotel and Spa - where Thora lands her first job minding bratty Felicity, the daughter of the hotel's owners. But there's something not quite right about Felicity's parents - or Mr Walters. He takes up yoga, swears off his favourite foods and isn't even interested in cricket! Does a bath in Felicity's house full of sparkling crystals have anything to do with it? When Cosmo goes missing, Thora must use all her half-mermaid skills to get to the bottom of the mystery - and the solution will affect her in a way she could never have imagined!
