This is one of those super cute children’s reads which will keep the young reader entertained for quite some time. It’s an engaging read, with a pace that leaves the child interested from the very first page until the ending where they will want to jump even further into stories written by Gwyneth Rees (of which there are some other good reads to pick between).

I loved this book so much when I was younger. I think I definitely wanted to live in Tingle Reef - I used to love swimming under water more than above and later did scuba diving so this book where there was a world under water was amazing to me! I loved the use of magic powers in this book, how she was able to see her past and meet another mermaid who was like her. I would recommend this book for younger readers as it does transport you to a different world. Tingle Reef has such lovely characters and it's a wonderful story. I also think the cover of this book is so pretty with the pastel greens and pinks and the drawing of Rani, makes it stand out/very attractive cover !! :) It's a book I will keep forever as I loved it so much.

I read this book a few years ago and it still remains one of my favourite books. I listened to it on audio and was upset when i reached the end. I felt like i was in the book because it was so well described.

One of other amazing book my friend recommended me in 5th grade! It was so awesome that I had to take it from the school library so many times that I lost count. It was pure fun and the whole story was so sweet and adventurous. :D

Read this at about the age of 8 years old ( in the middle of a mad mermaid faze) and fell in absolute love. Love. Love. Love. That is all I can say about this book. It was utterly magical and it really did make my childhood special.Isn't it amazing how stories can play such a big part in your life? Wow. Thankyou so much Gwyneth Rees.

When i was a child i hated reading. My sister recommended this book to me and as soon as i started reading it i was obsessed. First book i fell in love with and i recommend it for any child that likes to read. :)

This book was literally my childhood. Since being really little and watching The Little Mermaid on VCR and having it on repeat I've loved mermaids. And I loved these mermaid books. The whole Rani Series was literally my life when I was younger. Just looking at this is so nostalgic, I love it.

Oh wow i remember reading this when I was around 10-12 and I really liked it.

I can't remember much now except this scene where there were two blond mermaids that could hear each others thoughts or something.

Gwyneth Rees writes the most magical stories, but I have to say, compared to the others, this was slightly lacking.
