I was supposed to read this book for a class in college but never got around to it, so I figured I would give it a shot now. I love the back and forth between the mermaid and the girl, and I find that the artwork perfectly complements the poems. It is an apt story that captures the mysterious magic of Lake Michigan. I'm glad I read it.

This was a truly beautiful book of poems. I loved both viewpoints, but I felt more connected to Lyk. I would definitely be excited to read more poems by either author! The images were also beautiful, and they all connected together so well.

This poetry book was written by Anne-Marie oomen and Linda Nemec Foster. This poetry book makes you feel as if you are at the lake and feeling and experiencing what the authors are feeling. they bring you right alongside them and write the way they see things and how they are feeling. I would recommend this book to students about 3rd grade and up, at a younger age they may need help understanding and reading it but as they get older it will be a good poetry book for them to read.

I think what I liked most about this series of poems is that it told a story from two different perspectives. It took me a while to really get into it, but once I was it broke my heart over and over again in the best ways.
