SUMMARY: Tempest Maguire wants nothing more than to surf the killer waves near her California home; continue her steady relationship with her boyfriend, Mark; and take care of her brothers and surfer dad. But Tempest is half mermaid, and as her seventeenth birthday approaches, she will have to decide whether to remain on land or give herself to the ocean like her mother. The pull of the water becomes as insistent as her attraction to Kai, a gorgeous surfer whose uncanny abilities hint at an otherworldly identity as well. And when Tempest does finally give in to the water's temptation and enters a fantastical underwater world, she finds that a larger destiny awaits her-and that the entire ocean's future hangs in the balance.

Hi, I've nominated you for The Very Inspiring Blogger Award! http://oceanowl.wordpress.com/2012/10/23/inspired-insanity-the-very-inspiring-blogger-award/
This looks like an awesome book. I am a huge fan of hybrid creature books so this automatically went on my to-read list. Thanks for the review.

Q: What does our Double-Negative-Wrecktangle in ’85 prove? A: In the asymmetric atmosphere of the Creative Doctrine (<--- my Name for God who plays over-and-over how much He loves U.S. - the enigma of stalwart faith TO expand ‘après la mort’): the aplomb-filled-protagonist… the illustrious, exquisite Quid Pro Quo… the extraordinarily GODy, par excellence, with no expiration date, with an IQ higher than K2, lemme tella youse a de-facto-story:
High, girl.
I gotta lotta tantalizing, mellifluous illustrations on 20 blogs…
and I’m more than happy to share,
to give to you what God has granted me - a steward
in this finite existence, this lifelong demise:
faith, hope, and love,
the greatest of these is love -
jump into faith...
and you'll see with love.
Doesn’t matter if you don’t believe
(what I write);
God believes in you.
God. Blessa. Youse -Fr. Sarducci, ol SNL
Meet me Upstairs where the Son never goes down…
Another version of the mermaid story. I want to read it if there are not many sad scenarios of their love.
