Although some might have short hair or long hair, each mermaid was pink with a green tail. One day a little mermaid hatched out of her shell and was different. This littlest mermaid was purple. Young readers will learn a valuable lesson about diversity and acceptance as they read about the littlest mermaid's adventures in a land filled with sandcastles, seahorses, and trees made of coral.

  Three animal familiars must save a queen—and their reputations—in this magical entry in the fantasy adventure series. 
   
  Peace has finally returned to Vastia. The familiars Aldwyn, Skylar, and Gilbert have defeated the evil Paksahara, and the Council is throwing Queen Loranella a birthday party to celebrate. But then the queen falls victim to a terrible curse, and the familiars find themselves the prime suspects. 
   
  Narrowly escaping the palace dungeons, Aldwyn, Skylar, and Gilbert set out on a quest to prove their innocence and find a cure for the queen. But nothing can prepare them for the puzzles and perils that await them in the magical Dreamworld. 
   
  With inventive magic, laugh-out-loud humor, and a mysterious conspiracy that will take all the familiars’ wits to unravel, Palace of Dreams is the familiars’ most extraordinary adventure yet.
