"Stand aside, little mermaids. The true, pointy-toothed protector of the seas is here!... A scaly new hero sure to save the day—and to endear herself to readers." -Kirkus
"[E]xuberant cartooning from Beaton (King Baby) keeps this cheeky “Little Mermaid” variation swimming to a fish-friendly finale." -Publishers Weekly
"[A] picture of genuine ferocity and appealing silliness. There’s a curriculum bonus here too, as the problem of overfishing is embedded both in the narrative and in the endpapers, perhaps sparking discussion of environmental and marine conservation." -BCCB
