Bookroo's summary
Kiki Coral discovers a lost baby polar bear named Nestor, adrift and alone. With her friends Shelly and Echo, she faces a dilemma: the cost of sending Nestor home is steep, and a beloved boy band is performing nearby. Can they find a way to reunite Nestor with his family without missing the concert? Dive into this enchanting tale of friendship, choices, and adventure under the sea.
From the publisher
A lost baby polar bear shares the spotlight with a popular boy band in this Mermaid Tales adventure. Kiki Coral is thrilled beyond words when she meets a brand-new friend: a baby polar bear! The problem is, the little bear, whose name is Nestor, has floated away from home on a patch of ice and now he’s lost, hungry, and all alone! Kiki, Shelly, and Echo want to send Nestor back to his home on the Manta Ray Express, but a one-way ticket costs a whopping four jewels! That’s a fortune! Not to mention, all anyone at school can talk about is the Rays, who are performing a concert in Poseidon. Kiki loves the cute boy band as much as the next mergirl, but what about Nestor? Isn’t saving him more important than a concert? Can Kiki and her friends find a fun way to send their new furry friend home—and hang out with the Rays in the process?
