Age range: Older teen/Adult

A haunting novel. One of those stories that stays with you for awhile after you've read it. If you enjoy "magical realism" novels, you'll like this one. Here's more from Amazon:

"One of the most distinctive and unforgettable voices I have read in years. This book will linger in your head for a good long time.”
- Dave Eggers

“Hunt's spare narrative is as mysterious and lyrical as a mermaid's song. The strands of her story are touched with magic, strange in the best possible way and very pleasurable to read.”
- Andrea Barrett

“The Seas is creepy and poetic, subversive and strangely funny, [and] a phenomenal piece of literature.”
- Michelle Tea

“Hunt blends myth and reality ― if her father is from the sea, our narrator wonders, then isn't such magic in her blood as well? ― and ends up with something truly stunning.”
- BuzzFeed

“Urgently real and magically unreal . . . A breathy, wonderful holler of a novel, deeply lodged in the ocean's merciless blue . . . [Hunt] sinks an anchor into the soul of its lost young protagonist.”
- The Village Voice"

This one didn’t hang out in my little free library long; looks like its traveling elsewhere
