A review by library_brandy
The Sea Fairies by L. Frank Baum

2.0

Against my better judgement, I picked this up from the library so Julian could read it independently. Of course "independently" didn't happen, so together we read the adventures of Trot and Cap'n Bill as they slipped beneath the sea with the mermaids. There we had lots of description of pretty things and an eventual villain.

Julian--who lives and breathes Oz, I remind you--admitted at the end that he didn't like it that much, and found it kind of dull. That said, we've moved on to the next one (Sky Island), which look to be at least vaguely more interesting.
