Tara and Her Talking Kitten Meet a Mermaid

This book seems to have been written by two different people.  I say that because the first part of the book is about how Tara and her talking kitten are taken by fairy friends to meet a mermaid, who then takes them to meet creatures from under the sea.  She finds out that they are angry about how people/humans are polluting their waters and killing them and want Tara to do something about it.  Then there are some silly shenanigans that don’t have anything to do with or add to the story.  Tara gives a report at school about the ocean and how important it is to keep it clean and gets her classmates excited about it.  The other chapters are small separate stories about how Tara and her fairy friends help to keep her friend from drowning and how she helps an elderly neighbor connect with her family.  The whole book was rather disjointed and all over the place.  The messages were purposeful and clear: keep our water clean, be honest, help our neighbors and the elderly.  Little girls more into fairies and such rather than good writing will read this.
