Summary
Merrows are supposed to be extinct. No one has seen the water-breathing creatures in over a century.
That's all eleven-year-old Mira has time to think as she stares at the silver scales that have spread over her foot before she accidentally triggers a curse that will change her world forever. She and her best friend, Peter, are forced to embark on a journey across the kingdom, escaping from ruthless spies who will stop at nothing to capture them before anyone else learns Mira's secret.
With the help of a runaway scholar and a familiar young boy who reveals that he, too, has just discovered that he is a merrow, the children begin to train to beat the spies at their own game. Before they can truly find safety, Mira must learn to use the mysterious powers of her people, or else she and her friends may never be able to return home again.
My Thoughts
I really enjoyed this book! The plot is great and the characters are so much fun. This may be considered to be a middle grade book but I really think it will be enjoyed by teens and adults as well.
Mira is the main character. She develops silver scales on her feet and discovers that she is a merrow.
I actually think that Peter is my favorite character. He loves books and likes to find answers for the problems they are having in books. There is just something about him that I love!
Overall, this book is a great read! I really enjoyed and definitely recommend it to any other fantasy lovers!
