Overview:
When World Book Day arrives, the mermaids of the Hidden Lagoon and the witches of Sinkville are supposed to put their differences aside for a grand celebration. In this special World Book Day adventure, Sibéal Pounder joyfully braids together two beloved worlds—the playfulBad Mermaids and the mischievous Witch Wars—for a party that promises enchantment with a splash. Beattie, Mimi, and Zelda long to meet a real witch, while Tiga the witch ends up in an unexpected whirlpool that pulls her into the mermaid realm. What follows is a propulsive, giggle-filled quest as magical mishaps spiral into bigger, bolder trouble, and the two realms discover that friendship can bridge even the widest gaps. Beautifully illustrated by Jason Cockcroft and Laura Ellen Anderson, this paperback edition captures the charm, humor, and heart of Pounder’s cross-series saga, delivering a fast-paced, accessible read for fans and newcomers alike. This is a perfect World Book Day gift for readers who crave wit, whimsy, and warm, adventurous storytelling.

Bad Mermaids Meet the Witches stands out as a rare crossover event—bringing together the unmistakable voices of Sibéal Pounder’s Bad Mermaids and Witch Wars worlds in a single, celebratory tale.
