Between The Land and the Sea by Derrolyn Anderson

5 STARS
I was really into the story and cared about what was happening in the
characters lives. The characters where believeable.
This is the first of four books in the series.  I look forward to see what
happens in the rest of the books.
Marina has traveled around the world with her father.  She has never
gone to school just had lots of tutors.  Now her father is going to
Afganastan and thinks it is to dangerous to take her with him. He is
sending her to live with her Aunt Abigail and cousin Cruz for a year.
Cruz is six months older than her, a senior in high school.  He loves to
design womens clothes.  He is a outcast in high school as one really
good friend.
Marina is going to her first school as a senior and taking most of the
same classes as Cruz.  Marina with her tutoring is a head of most of her
classes but her father wants her to go for the social life of a school for once.
Marina mother died in child birth and her father never talks about his
wife. In fact has no pictures of her but tells Marina that she looks like her.
Marina has never lived by the ocean and doesn't know how to swim.
She almosts drowns from a sneak wave and a mermaid saves her and looks
a lot like her.
I really liked this book that I was given in exchange of honest review by
Librarything.
