Princess Fishtail really digs her life beneath the water-living in a crystal palace, jumping rope with dolphins, and chatting with tuna on her cell phone. But one day when she rescues a handsome surfer, the mer-princess realizes she's been hooked-by love. The princess decides to spend the rest of her life on land with her true love, but one day she gets homesick for her old pals under the sea. Will a rotten old troll stand in true love's way, or can a mermaid princess, a surfer, and some sewing lessons show the way to living happily ever after? "This ultracool version of the fairy tale ...updates the classic with singular flair." (Publishers Weeklyon Cinder-Elly)
This is the Little Mermaid with a twist. Story is done in rhyme and is 95% good rhyme. A few of the twists on the original are: The mermaid's father is o.k. with her going to the land, she figures out an alternative to a second bargain with the troll, and her boyfriend, surfer Burt buys wetsuits for them to go see her father. In fact, I like this much better than H.C. Andersen. So does my daughter. Il be checking out her other books.
