Sea In You
Sea In You
"A refreshingly menacing take on the mermaid mythos." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"An exciting, dramatic, and tender tale of adolescent self-discoveryabove and below the ocean." FOREWORD
15-year-old Corinth was just trying to clean up the beach; she never expected to meet a mermaid, let alone be nearly drowned by one. It was the start of a very strange friendship!
After Skylla, the deadly fanged mermaid, mysteriously lets Corinth live, they grow closer through a cautious exchange of stories, gifts, jokes, and sign language. Mermaids, it turns out, eat people, but however terrifying Skylla may look, shes a little younger, a little smaller, and perhaps a little too soft for all that. Bewitched by Corinth and their growing bond, she learns about all the best things in life on land: books, burgers, donuts, and this strange chattering human sound called laughter. But a storm is brewing both at sea and in Corinths increasingly dangerous relationship with her obsessively jealous boyfriend and a magical bargain may be the only thing that can save her, at a tremendous cost.
A whimsical dark fantasy retelling of The Little Mermaid, The Sea in You upends everything you thought you knew about magical creatures of the deep, on a whirlwind journey to a whole new world youve only dreamed of before!
