Locklyn and Darin must work together and unite their allies to stop a vengeful enchantress from unleashing the Loch Ness Monster to destroy Atlantis. L. E. Richmond’s action-packed sequel The Locket’s Revenge quickly plunges back into the world of Chronicles of the Undersea Realm book 1, The Mermaid’s Tale. Richmond swims between past and present to create a sometimes choppy but overall exciting adventure story. Thanks to favorite heroes returning from The Mermaid’s Tale, joined by new arrivals, this ocean is full of vibrant and memorable life.

Best for: Teen girls 15 and older who love adventures and mermaids.

Discern: Sorcery used by villains, violence in gladiator-style fights.
