About

Hello and welcome to my book blog! My name is Tiarna and I am from Australia. As you can probably tell from the name, I love mermaids and I love books, so I thought the combination of the two would be the perfect title for my book blog. I love to read, probably a little bit too much! I love YA, fantasy, historical fiction, dystopian and any book that is about princesses! If you would like to chat please don't hesitate to contact me! I am also accepting review requests. Happy reading!

How to Grow a Family Tree by Eliza Henry-Jones

Stella may only be seventeen, but having read every self-help book she can find means she knows a thing or two about helping people. She sure wasn't expecting to be the one in need of help, though. Thanks to her father's gambling addiction, Stella and her family now find themselves living at Fairyland Caravan Park. And hiding this truth from her friends is hard enough without dealing with another secret.

If Mr Harris learns of the secret school that Hannah's mother is running, it will mean ruin, violence, and possibly even death. Hannah and Jamie must fight for Jamie's right to stay in the land he loves, and fo...
