It's really funny how I found this book and author. I was going through the library, looking for a book from my favorite series, the warriors series. It's by Erin Hunter, so I was looking under the H section. I wasn't finding anything, so I got excited when I found the name Hunter on the rack.

Mermaids can be treacherous! This is a great dark story about two kids whose father is a fisherman, and the power an angry mermaid can have over their lives. How can they save their father from her wrath? This is a great shivery fantasy, with a terrific ending! I loved it!

Great book!! Very dark Irish children's book that reads like a fairy tale, and I don't mean Disney. The mermaid in this story is selfish, vain, and vindictive... and the children who get involved with her are brave and innocent. Great, great story.

I read this book in middle school - found it in the library. Loved it. It's a beautiful haunting fable. Little girls should love it. But beware - this is not a Disney mermaid. She's mean.

One of my very favorites as a child. A very different take on how mermaids are perceived.
