“I received a complimentary copy of this title from the publisher through NetGalley. Opinions expressed are my own.
I think we're all familiar with the story of The Little Mermaid. Many find it problematic in several areas, but I personally love it and find it haunting and beautiful. This is a wonderful, updated version of the classic we all know and love. Hopefully, it will inspire some new readers to discover this favorite classic!”
