2: Thora and the Green Sea-Unicorn by Gillian Johnson

While in London, Thora encounters the aging actress and kleptomaniac, Pamela P. Poutine - a mermaid Cruella de Vil. Pamela will steal anything she can - including Shirley, who's a rare and priceless green dragon sea horse. And when Pamela finds out that Thora has the legendary projectionist's ring, she'll stop at nothing to get her hands on it ...
