5 great mermaid books to read this summer:

#5: IN OTHER LANDS by Sarah Rees Brennan

 “In other lands” by Sarah Rees Brennan is a fun, intriguing mermaid story full of magic and fantasy. It introduces Elliot (a thirteen-year-old boy) who is fascinated by the Borderlands: an otherworldly place where no piece of modern technology is allowed. The Borderlands are inhabited by wonderful magical creatures: elves, goblins, harpies and – the best as far as Elliot is concerned – mermaids.

#4: PART OF YOUR WORLD by Liz Braswell 

Part of Your World by Liz Braswell is ideal for awakening nostalgia and bringing out the inner child in every reader. This great book dwells on the question “What if Ariel had never defeated Ursula?” And describes a world where Ariel is the voiceless queen of Atlantica, her father King Triton is dead, and the wicked sea witch Ursula rules the human world… as a wife to the bewitched Prince Eric! Tired and disappointed in herself, Ariel suddenly discovers that her father may still be alive, and that there may be a way, after all, to repair the damage done, and regain her voice, family and dream husband.

#3: THE SECRET DEEP by Lindsay Galvin

Thirteen-year-old Aster and her eleven-year-old sister Poppy recently lost their mother and now have to travel from England to New Zealand, accompanied by their aunt Lona: a leading oncologist. Life seems dull, but then it gets strange after the two girls are sent to their aunt’s current place of work: an eco-village with no modern technology. Shortly afterwards, Aster wakes up alone on a deserted island, not knowing how she got there and where her sister might be. Meanwhile, her friend Sam starts searching for them.

Lamenting the sad fates of her country and her friend’s presumed death, she can’t stop crying. Yet, destiny has a surprise in store. Soon, she’s going to meet Jet Mir – a banished sovereign and captain of a crab-shaped submarine, who vows to assist Amelia with rescuing her friend: who may or may not be dead.

There’s a hack, though: he has an arrangement to offer. Frantic to save her confidante, Amelia assents to it, agreeing to help him steal precious artifacts from significant mermaid figures from various seas, and aid him in reaching the goal of finding and awakening an ancient power…

This leads Amelia to Santa Ana, the Portuguese town full of greenery, crystal clear beaches, and elevated cafe. Shortly after her arrival, Amelia realizes that her greatest rival in the artifact chase will be an older sister she didn’t even know, she had…
