And Then I Turned Into a Mermaid by Laura Kirkpatrick
3.0
This was in the YA section of the library and got it out to try something different just before lockdown. I'm not the target readership being a 61 year old male but I can see the fascination for young girls.
A bit formulaic in that there's the unobtainable boy, wanting to be popular, falling out with your best friend and the moments in transforming into a mermaid were too infrequent.
Molly is the protagonist and all her sisters, mother and visiting aunt all had names beginning with M, a bit confusing at times.
It was a pacy read with plenty of funny moments and awful puns and dad type jokes to make you groan and smile at the same time.
