Keeper was born in the ocean, and she believes she is part mermaid. So as a ten-year-old she goes out looking for her mother--an unpredictable and uncommonly gorgeous woman who swam away when Keeper was three--and heads right for the ocean, right for the sandbar where mermaids are known to gather. But her boat is too small for the surf--and much too small for the storm that is brewing on the horizon. Kathi Appelt follows her award-winning and New York Times bestselling novel The Underneath with this stunning, mysterious, and breathtaking tale of a girl who outgrows fairy tales just a little too late--and learns in the end that there is nothing more magical and mythical than love itself.
Search the title and read reviews for EACH of the 2 editions. It made me want to order this book.
(In fact, if TB customers do not leave reviews or I want to know more that limited comments, I frequently use Goodreads reviews to help me decide. If you are a bibliophile like me, it can be as dangerous habit -- your TB Wish Lists get longer -- but very useful.)
