Hattie B, Magical Vet: The Mermaid's Tail (Book 4)

Summary

Hattie B, Magical Vet: The Mermaid's Tail (Book 4), is the fourth title in a brand new magical series for girls!

Discover a secret world of fairytale creatures!

King Ivar is growing powerful as he steals more magic from the creatures of Bellua. Luckily they have Hattie B to help them.

Ivar has taken the magic from a mermaid's tail leaving her weak and defenceless. Hattie must travel across the desert to collect some rainbow syrup, but King Ivar is waiting to ambush her...

Hattie B is inspired by a little girl called Harriet, who once asked 'where do unicorns and dragons go when they're unwell?' Her mum, Lindsay Taylor, and their friend, Suzanne Smith thought long and hard and suddenly realised - a magical vet of course! With this twinkle of an idea they met the writer Claire Baker and together they created the Kingdom of Bellua - and the pen name Claire Taylor-Smith.
