This book is not only an entertaining read but also a book that imparts valuable life lessons. Through the Lightwood family's experiences, readers learn about the importance of teamwork, perseverance, and embracing new challenges. These themes are seamlessly integrated into the story, making it a thought-provoking and educational read for young readers. One of the highlights of this prequel volume is the emphasis on family values and the power of togetherness. The Lightwood family's unconditional love and support for one another serve as a heartwarming reminder of the importance of family bonds, making this book an ideal read for both children and adults alike.

A children's adventure that effortlessly weaves magic and family bonds into a captivating journey through the mountains. The story's reflection of family values and the diverse interests of its members left a heartwarming impression, making it a fun and enriching read. I wished the book had more illustrations which could enhance the experience for young readers.

This is a delightful blend of teenage drama and mystical intrigue. Mira's journey from a typical high school student to embracing her mermaid heritage is both heartwarming and empowering. I recommend it to readers seeking an immersive escape into a world where dreams come to life.
