It all started when Sam and Polly were playing in front of their summer house on the ocean....As they were playing they see something mysterious floating along in the water,and imediatly they go to try and get it.But,when a large wave crashes on them,their 13-year old Brother Joe comes and rescues them,but they can't find the mysterious green bottle....Later while in Joe's room they see it!They figure Joe must have taken whlie they were underwater....So they devise a plan to get their bottle back.......After they get it they open it and it says That whoever snatches this bottle from the Ocean gets 3 wishes from the Element......Wow,3 wishes!!!!!!Even though Sam and Polly aren't sure what that means,but they try their wishes imediatly...They come up with many wishes-like wishes for beauty,fame,wealth,new cars,the ability to fly-But none of them work!!!!Then they go back out to the beach,and Polly kinda of flippetly says,"We might as well as wished for something silly,like to become a mermaid,or something like that!"....Well, a storm suddenly brews,and the waves crash,and one comes up and touches Polly's leg-And now she's a mermaid!!!!!!!They have to tell Joe about the wishes and what happened,But Joe has his own wish,and the next day he disapears,leaving no trace-except a comic book and a pair of sunglasses.......I Loved this book-and I think its the best in the series!If you read them You kinda learn a little about Ancient Greek Gods,and the stories in this series are simply fun!!!!!!I recomened this seies to anyone-even adults,they're a quick and fun read!!!!!Hope this review was helpful to You!
Editorial Review:
Nine-year-old Polly and her younger brother, Sam, find a corked bottle at the beach. Inside is an ancient parchment promising three wishes. Before their adventure is over, older brother Joe will disappear and Polly and Sam will have to journey under the sea to get him back! This first book in the new Magic Elements quartet combines magic and adventure in an easy-to-read format perfect for the in-between reader.
