cool!

There aree some weird grownups in Bailey city but could the singing track coach with long hair really be a magical mermaid?

Well Written Kids' Story

Mermaids Don't Run Track is a good book for 3-5th graders. The characters are action oriented from the first page, and immediately face two interesting mysteries concerning the camp director and the track coach. The Bailey School kids suspect one is a werewolf and the other a mermaid. The art work is also very good and adds detail and interest to the story. The book is approximately 7,000 words long.A similar book for the same age group which I would recommend is "Abby and the bicycle caper."

Liked how Eddie was always trying to be the big shot.

My name is Leigh. I liked that Eddie tried to be always a smart aleck. And how he said that he would prove that Mrs. Waterford wasn't a mermaid. And whenever they got in the lake, Eddie would try to splash her. And I liked when Eddie pulled Liza in the water.
