Sydney Gao has a secret – she’s a mermaid.
Unfortunately, her mother forbade her from telling anyone and
kept Sydney land-locked in the Midwest all her life. After learning Selkie
slavers kidnapped her best friend Garrett Weaver, Sydney ran away in hopes of
rescuing him. Succeeding, she thought all her dreams of finding others like her
to swim with had finally come true.
But Garrett is different now.
No longer the goofy, fun-loving guy she remembered, he’s more
concerned about his Selkie friends than Sydney. Worse, her mother is also mad
at Sydney for putting herself in danger and not thinking about the consequences
of her actions.
Sydney can’t understand any of it. All she’s ever wanted is
to finally see and explore the Salt capital city of New Pearlaya and to share
her secret with someone.
What Sydney doesn’t know is that the Salt is far from the
place where dreams come true…and she isn’t the only one who’s been keeping
secrets.
My Review: Sydney is a lovely character who happens to be a mermaid. However, she can’t go wild and enjoy that life the way she wants. She’s locked on land and cant tell her friends about any of it.
Though
things are about to change when she must rescue Garrett. She rescued her friend
and now is in search for others like her. To share her secret and al be well.
Though Garrett has changed, her mom is mad, and what the heck is Sydney to do?
Poo girl just wants to be happy, have her dreams come true and live on. But I
guess that’s too much to ask for.
There
are more secrets that you think, twists and surprises, and well you’ll be
sucked right in. It’s another awesome read by Aaron.
