Thora is a briliant book 29 April 2007
By Emma
Format:Paperback
By Jessie Shaw aged 7 & 11 months

The main character is Thora. I think it is a brilliant book because the author wrote the book in the way a child would. This is because it had spelling mistakes. The book wasn't just normal everyday things, Thora got up to adventures. I think it is not so normal because Thora is half mermaid because her mother is a mermaid. the book is quite funny because Thora gets muddled up on some words and her guardian doesn't even mind , he just helps her. I think other people would enjoy this book.

This is a great read for girls ages 8-11! 6 Jan 2008
By E. Rudshteyn - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Thora: A Half-Mermaid Tale is a delightful combination of comedy, adventure, and fantasy. Thora hereself is a unique character who brings fun whenever she shows up. Gillian Johnson slipped in many fun, witty lines that add humor to the book. There is a whole menagerie of delightful characters. Also, the comedy/fantasy turns into a mystery/adventure when Thora, with the help of her new friends, must rescue her mother. Overall, an excellent read for fans of authors such as Gail Carson Levine, and Roald Dahl! Enjoy!

A Fantastic Fantasy Book 25 April 2006
By S. Page - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
My daugher is [...] and we came upon this book at a yard sale. She read it right away- we couldn't tear her away from it. This is definately the best book about a mermaid for her age group (8-10?). (She is a pretty good reader, so some people may want to wait a bit since it is recommended for 9 year olds).

My daughter believes in mermaids and the magic of knowing or becoming one, so this was the perfect book for her. She loved the plot and giggled at the whimsical humor that runs throughout the story. She insisted on showing us all the cute and funny pictures. It is now her FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME (and she has read a lot of books). She shared her book with other girls in their bookclub- and they all loved it too. Our only problem was that we couldn't find it for a while. Now that we know it is here at Amazon, we will tell all our friends. I am looking forward to giving her the sequel for her birthday.

Thank you Gillian Johnson for writing such a wonderful book!

Happy 8 Year Old 24 Jun 2008
By M. M. Anderson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Bought THORA for my 8 year old daughter last week because she is a big fan of EMILY WINDSNAP. It arrived on a rainy afternoon--perfect time. My daughter didn't stop reading until she was done. We had to go to the book store the next day and buy the others in the series (our library doesn't carry them).
