But one day when she rescues a handsome surfer, the mer-princess realizes she's been hooked-by love.

Customer Reviews

great girl's book-

This is the Little Mermaid with a twist. Story is done in rhyme and is 95% good rhyme. A few of the twists on the original are: The mermaid's father is o.k. with her going to the land, she figures out an alternative to a second bargain with the troll, and her boyfriend, surfer Burt buys wetsuits for them to go see her father. In fact, I like this much better than H.C. Andersen. So does my daughter. Il be checking out her other books.
