About this ebook
All Mick Bogerman wanted to do was teach his little brother how to swim in the coolest swimming pool in town. He didn't ask to take care of a bunch of Sea-Monkeys while he was there. He certainly didn't mean to morph one of them into a mermaid by feeding it genetically enhanced super food. No one is more surprised than Mick when the crea
Mick Bogerman
Author, Mickey "Mick" Bogerman has lived in Beachwood, North Carolina all his life. Mostly he tries to stay out of trouble, but mostly trouble seems to find him anyway. He has a knack for antagonizing scary creatures and girls, not necessarily in that order. Mick's favorite subjects in school are science (slime, rockets, bugs, and rocks-- what's not to like?), gym class (running, climbing, throwing-- more stuff to like), and reading (yay Mr. Corcoran lets him read whatever he likes-- like comic books). Speaking of comic books, Mick's favorites are X-Men, Demon Knights, Spiderman and Batman.

Reviews for How to Rid Your Swimming Pool of a Bloodthirsty Mermaid
3 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Note: This book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Since I reviewed the first Slug Pie Story #1, and a lot of what I feel about this book mimics the 1st review, this review is not on TRB but will be on here and Amazon.
It is recommended that the parents take heed to the wise warning in front of the book whether this is appropriate for their middle school child.
With that being said, there are so many things I loved about this book.
1. The cover is visually striking! A definite spooky feel that will appeal to this author's target audience.
2. The titles of the chapters served as instructions. It was like getting a manual and a graphic adventure story all in one.
3. Normally I am not drawn to present tense writes (it’s an “Unleashed Thing”). Yet this one was done so well that (1) I barely noticed it and (2) The way the author was able to do 1st person without an excessive amount of “I’s” was clap worthy.
4. The dialogue between the child characters definitely fit their ages.
5. I enjoyed the splashes of humor in the tale. I found myself laughing after each chapter.
6. The detail about the mermaid even gave me Goosebumps.
Although this story can stand alone, some people who may not have read Slug Pie Story #1 (How to Navigate Zombie Cave and Defeat Pirate Pete) may feel cheated because although they know bits and pieces (hinted at in this one), they might desire more back story as to the adventure.
Verdict: 4 out of 5 Stars.
