Prologue
When the evil mermaid Mantora tried to destroy Coral Kingdom, she was outwitted by Misty and her young mermaid friends. Now she is hatching another terrible plot! This time it is against Ice Kingdom, the frozen realm of Princess Arctica.
Mantora has stolen six precious snow diamonds from the underwater Ice Cavern. Not only that, she has trapped Princess Arctica and her good Merfolk in a huge cage of enchanted icicles, so they cannot follow her.
Unless the snow diamonds are quickly returned to the Ice Cavern, the whole of Ice Kingdom will be destroyed and the distant southern lands will be flooded with melted ice.
Only Princess Arctica’s courageous young mermaids—Amber, Katie, Megan, Jess, Becky, and Poppy—are small enough to slip through the jagged bars of Mantora’s frosty cage. They are Sisters of the Sea, who are loyal to the Mermaid Pledge:
We promise that we’ll take good care
Of all sea creatures everywhere.
We’ll never hurt and never break,
We’ll always give and never take.
And as we fight Mantora’s threat,
This saying we must not forget:
"I’ll help you and you’ll help me,
For we are Sisters of the Sea!"
Katie and her friends vow to find the snow diamonds, before their frosty home melts forever. They set off on their quest, taking with them only Princess Arctica’s blessing and their stardust lockets.
Mantora has left behind a trail of cryptic clues about where she has hidden the diamonds. Can Katie and her friends solve Mantora’s riddling rhymes and rescue the snow diamonds in time to save Ice Kingdom?
If you cannot find the diamonds,
The ice will start to melt.
On all sides of the ocean,
The danger will be felt.
No more will seals and polar bears
Enjoy their snowy home,
The seas will rise, the lands will flood—
Storm Kingdom will have come!
So try to solve the riddling clues
Of Mantora’s cruel game,
But
