a beautifully illustrated tale
My 3.5 year old found this book in a bookstore and was so fascinated with the beautiful illustrations that we had to read the entire book there and then. After we brought it home it would become a must read each night for weeks to come. The story has just the right amount of suspense to keep young children engaged, but not too much as to overwhelm them. It was a great book to show children aspects of virtue and vice. My 3.5 year old is picking up from it the goodness of bravery and loyalty. My almost 5 year old also concluded that "if you don't use your power to do good things, you will lose it." It is a rare find as a combination of beautiful illustrations, captivating story, and important lessons to learn from. The text is long and it takes more than 10 minutes to go through the entire book, even longer with explanations. But the children are engaged and will sit through multiple iterations at a time. Some words are not part of ordinary vocabulary for young children but they can be easily explained. This book could easily become a favorite for older children as well. ... Read more

Recommended for readers age 12 and up
Award-winning author Chester Aaron, whose books have been selected for the Junior Literary Guild and made into an ABC Weekend Special movie, presents Home To The Sea, a novel for young adults about a twelve-year-old girl confronting changes in her life an Olympic-quality gift for swimming, and the mysterious ability to hear inhuman voices calling her to the sea. The author's years of participation in marine mammal rescues adds authenticity and emotion to scenes portrayed in Home to the Sea, and the story of a young girl on the cusp of womanhood seeking the truth about herself and her heritage will resonate in the hearts of young people. Home To The Sea is especially recommended for readers age 12 and up.
A Girl--A Mermaid?
I love sea mammals--whales, dolphins, seals, etc., and I loved this beautiful book.Even though it's about a girl turning into a mermaid, it's very realistic about how she feels about it.And the rescues were wonderful and very exciting.Anybody who likes mermaids, or the sea, or fantasy will love this book! ...
