This is the most uplifting and well-told tale I have had the pleasure of reading in a very long time. We begin with a “chance” meeting between a 15-year-old boy and a mermaid named Marina. And it gets ever better and richer as we follow the life of Justin as he carries Marina's dire message forward to the masses through his compelling artwork. Threading through all this is a childhood friendship which comes to full bloom in the final chapter. In this story, everyone does live happily ever after, and I found this to be very refreshing. Annabel Sheila writes with clarity and the reader is drawn ever forward as this story unfolds to a very satisfying conclusion. A must-read for anyone who cares about the wellness of planet Earth, and about good endings. ~Reviewed by Ted L Glines
