A terrific new historical fiction quartet from Kathy Lasky, acclaimed author of the best-selling Guardians of Ga'Hoole series. Daughters of the Sea tells the story of 3 mermaid sisters who are separated at birth by a storm and go on to lead three very different lives. Book 1 is about Hannah, who spent her early days in an orphanage and is now a scullery maid in the house of rich, powerful family. She is irresistibly drawn to the sea and through a series of accidents and encounters discovers her true identity. Hannah relizes that she must keep the truth a secret but she also knows that soon she will have to make the choice - to be a creature of the land or the sea. Praise for Daughters of the Sea: Hannah"Hannah Albury [is a] demure yet plucky heroine...[and] the plot becomes gripping. A good bet for upper middle-grade and early YA readers."-Kirkus Reviews"This novel has menacing, almost gothic overtones as well as a strong sense of time, place, and class distinctions." -Booklist"This novel, like all of Lasky's, is very easy to read. The story moves quickly, and the characters are colorful and diverse. Hopefully, Lasky will not make us wait too long to discover what happens to Hannah and her sisters!"
