This was an amazing retelling of The Little Mermaid! After Mari saves a man from a shipwreck on her eighteenth birthday, she loses her soul. Determined to get it back and every other soul that mermaids have had stolen from them, she finds the Sea Witch to gain further information and instructions. Mari, Shelbie, and Aaron (the man she rescued) go on a journey to find the lost souls. The land is unknown territory for Mari and she isn’t quite sure who to trust. I really loved Shelbie’s, Mari’s sidekick, personality and thought it was cool to have her shift into two creatures- a seal in the water and a dog on land. I also liked the notions of the original story within this one and the history that Mari’s dad and the Sea Witch had. This retelling was filled with twists and managed to have a unique spin on the classic tale.
Courtney did a great job with this narration! I loved the young personality and emotions that she portrayed for Mari- she was the perfect fit! Her performance was very easy to listen to and she spoke at a steady pace.
