Reach for this book when your teenager is grappling with the ache of not belonging or the complex, sometimes painful search for maternal connection. Mermaid Moon follows Sanna, a half-seavish girl who feels like an outsider in her underwater home. To find her land-dwelling mother, she makes a dangerous bargain with a sea witch and ventures into a human world that is beautiful, devout, and often cruel. This is a sophisticated, lushly written fantasy that explores identity and the sacrifices we make to find where we truly fit. It is a darker, more literary take on mermaid folklore that treats teenage longing with the gravity it deserves. While it contains intense moments of peril and sacrifice, it offers a profound meditation on hope and self-discovery for older teens navigating their own transitions into adulthood.
