The very beginning didn't really grab us, so we set it aside for a month and then when we came back the whole book was different than what we thought it was about. Loved it. :)
adventurous fast-paced

What an adventure it was. More of a Disney channel free willy style adventure with mermaids than the usual goosebumps horror but a lot of fun still.

Este librito me ha parecido flojo, el autor ha escrito mucho mejores. Los primeros capítulos y la última hoja son lo que más me ha gustado.

William Deep, Jr. is a sea monster hunter. He finds a sea monster and manages to fight it off. Then zoo keepers come over to his uncle's ship and tell him that a mermaid has been sighted in the waters. Being an expert sea hunter, William finds it. The mermaid saved his life from a hammerhead shark! This book is thrilling and scary. I loved it! I would give it 4.5 stars. (This review was composed by my 9-year-old son)

Humanity is scarier than anything in the sea

This wasn’t necessarily a bad book, but it didn’t feel like a Goosebumps book.
For about the first quarter of the book, it did, and it felt like something might happen, but then they spent most of the book looking after a mermaid. Nothing scary. Just… a mermaid.
She saved them, they saved her. Mermaids.
Then for about 0.2 seconds at the end, it flicks back to the original plot.
