Critic reviews

'A terrific YA crossover medieval romance from the author of The Golden Braid.'

'This charming, fairy-tale romance is the author’s retelling of The Little Mermaid . . . Readers will cheer for Evangeline, as well as for Westley as he celebrates her many talents.'

'Dickerson weaves a compelling tale that takes place long ago in England . . . This book will have you jumping out of your seat with anticipation at times. Moderate to fast-paced, you will not want this book to end. Recommended for all, especially lovers of historical romance.'
