Hannah - Daughters of the Sea, Bk 1
Author: Kathryn Lasky
Hannah is not like other girls in the turn-of-the-century Boston orphanage where she grew up. Instead of seasickness, she gets land sickness. She leaves a ring of salt in the tub when she bathes, and sometimes she sees a faint tracing of scales on her feet.

There is something about mermaid books that lures me to reading them. This one is part of a series called Daughters of the Sea by the same author.

The story begins with a young woman who wants to be normal but the sea always lures her but she has no idea why. When she travels inland away from it she becomes sick and the farther she goes the more ill she becomes.

She works as a scullery girl in a house where she meets a young man who understands her. Drawn to him she thinks she may be falling in love. Their encounters are sporatic and tension ridden. He fascinates her even while the sea fascinates her with more and more intensity. This is a delightful little story written by a talented author who weaves great tales for the young or the young at heart.
