  Twelve-year-old Libby Monroe is great at science, being optimistic, and talking to her famous, accomplished friends (okay, maybe that last one is only in her head).  
   
  She’s not great at playing piano, sitting still, or figuring out how to say the right thing at the right time. Libby was born with Turner syndrome, and that makes some things hard. But she has lots of people who love her, and that makes her pretty lucky. 
   
  When her big sister, Nonny, tells her she’s pregnant, Libby is thrilled. She strikes a deal with the universe: She will enter a contest with a project about Cecilia Payne, the first person to discover what stars are made of. If she wins the grand prize and  
  gives all that money to Nonny’s family, then the baby will be perfect and healthy.  
   
  Does Libby have what it takes to care for the sister who has always cared for her?  
  And what will it take for the universe to notice? 
   
  From debut author Sarah Allen comes this heartwarming novel about loving people with everything you’re made of.

  “One of the swimmers plunged underwater with a flick of his long, dolphin-like tail. The other followed, sending an arc of spray shooting upwards, tail slapping against the choppy waves.” 
   
  In the quiet Scottish seaside village of Dunlyre, Finn is enduring a winter holiday with his annoying new stepmother, wishing things could go back to how they were, while Sage is enjoying her new home, wishing things would stay as they are. 
   
  Finn has seen mysterious swimmers in the Firth late at night. Then, from the clifftop, first Sage, then Finn, hears an eerie song. Could the local legend of merfolk living amid the waves actually be true? When the new friends meet the magical sea-people, they are amazed and impressed, but the merfolk are hiding a secret. The two human children must put aside their own problems and help in the battle against the young merfolk’s ancient underwater enemy before the last of their kind are lost forever. 
  ‘The author has a talent for describing magical creatures with a realism that renders them integral to the Scottish landscape… Secrets of the Last Merfolk is exciting and action packed, and one of our favourite reads of the year.’ 
  — Roaring Reads 
   
  ‘Another fantastic fast-paced middle grade novel… Lindsay Littleson delves right into the heart of loyalty between two friends determined to succeed and her writing draws you in as you join Sage and Finn on what can only be described as an epic journey. With a superb nod to climate change, carbon footprints and the pros and cons to industrial planning also on the agenda, this thought-provoking tale of humans and merfolk reveals how their co-existence can make the world a better place.’ 
  — My Book Corner 
   
  This is an incredibly exciting, fast-paced story with heart-pounding danger as secrets are uncovered and truths revealed.   I really enjoyed the blending of realism with fantastical elements.  Whilst this adventure has the incredible legend of the merfolk threaded throughout, it also deals with issues such as divorce, adjusting to new family relationships and bullying as well as environmental issues related to development and protecting the seas.  I loved the depiction of the merfolk as powerful creatures, grieving a terrible loss and trying to survive. 
   
  A fantastic and thrilling read for children of 9+.
