This book really spoke to my inner 10 year old.
Images of the earth being divided into those on land,those in the air and those in the sea.
People that can fly, breathe under water and seem to communicate with dogs!. (Doesn’t matter if they are bad or not, still cool to a 10 year old).
This is the story of a young girl who loses her mother then a year later finds out she is part of this under water people/kingdom.
She discovers she has the ability to talk to fish which become her true friends.
The story line moves smoothly for most of the book. Some weak spots but that’s my grown up mind popping up I think.
The friendship and interaction between the different fish is refreshing. The dialogue was strong and believable in most of the interactions. Several times I laughed out loud at the interactions. Very fresh writing style.
Again my adult mind would pop up and ask if that is really how the fish would talk to each other or how they could know that phrase but my inner 10 year told the adult to pipe down.
The lessons from this book were straight forward and out in plain sight. Friendship and being true to yourself and your friends trumps any evil.
This is one book that I look forward to having my daughter read when she gets old enough. I also plan on giving it to my wife’s niece to read.
A solid 4 out of 5 and a must read if you want a fun time and escape into the dreams you had when you were 10
