Venus Underwater: Tale of the Wise Eye by Julia Hengst




She can save her friends… if she can first believe in herself.

It’s Exam Day at the School of Fish, and young mermaid Venus is facing the biggest challenge of her life. She and her best friends, Rootsy and Dawa, must pass their final test as a team—a daring rescue mission that requires one mermaid to travel to land, stay hidden from earthwalkers, and use her wise eye to find magical healing flowers.

That mermaid… is Venus.

But Venus is trembling with nerves. What if her fear gets in the way? What if she lets her pod squad down? With her friends counting on her and graduation hanging in the balance, Venus must summon her courage, trust her innertech, and discover the strength that’s been inside her all along.

Brimming with shimmering magic, gentle humor, and the power of true friendship, Tale of the Wise Eye inspires young readers to listen to their hearts, trust their gifts, and believe in the kindness that connects us all.

Perfect for children who love mermaids, adventure, and stories that nurture emotional resilience.

Dive into this enchanting underwater adventure today—and inspire your young reader to discover their own brave, wise eye.

My Review:

🌟🌟🌟🌟

A dive into self-discovery

Four Point Four Stars.

Venus is on a mission and she must face her hardest battle because she has to fight her self-doubt and trust her inner eye for this and get her magic right. Lovely world building and also brings in about how to handle performance anxiety. 

Sweet gentle tale for children to remind them that true strength comes from within.

Thank you for the e-Arc Netgalley.
