What is The Mer-King's Son about?
On Fishermen’s Island, Big Bool is a huge, fierce man whom everyone fears. When a mysterious sack of gold appears beside his boat, trouble soon follows. Drawn into a strange tale of the sea, Big Bool encounters the Mer-King’s son and discovers that courage matters more than size or strength. With pirates, danger and underwater magic, this short illustrated adventure takes young readers from the island shore to a world beneath the waves, where a surprising secret must be uncovered.
