Semi Finalist
Assessment:
This thrilling, imaginative adventure follows Meela, a native resident of the island of Eriana Kwai, as she trains for battle and sets sail with a group of 20 girls to battle the mermaids besieging the Pacific Ocean. Interspersed with flashbacks showing her friendship with the mermaid Lysi, this tale grips readers from the beginning, drawing them into the struggles Meela faces as she fights to save her home. Warner’s masterful characterizations, beautifully described settings, and gripping climax will leave readers breathlessly waiting for the sequel.
