When a carnival fortune teller informs new-kid-in-town Marvin, YOUR WISH WILL COME TRUE, it's a no-brainer. What lonely Marvin longs for more than anything is a friend. Marvin tries his luck at the "Win a Goldfish" game, and to his amazement, he wins! But what he wins is no ordinary goldfish. Waving at him from the little glass fishbowl, is Stella- a tiny mermaid. She's his wish come true! They both love gummy bears, collect shells, and miss home. It's the perfect friendship, except Stella is a fish out of water in Marvin's world. Marvin's Little Mermaid is a tender story of compassion and being a good friend, even when it costs us dearly. With a dash of humor, a pinch of magic, and a delicious, surprise twist, this picture book will delight children ages 4-9.
