When he jumps into the water, an adventure begins. He meets mermaid who is all alone, an orphan, the last of her kind. While she's eager to meet the circus folks--the strong man, the tattooed lady, the contortionist--she's hesitant to create her own circus act at first, but grows to love the adoring audiences and her new circus family. Of course, she misses her ocean home. Will she have to choose between her new family and the ocean? In minimal, lyrical text, this stunning tale explores themes of friendship, loneliness, and home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\/Paula Wiseman Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781481497176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 9.90w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/20\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lisa Mantchev","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36653101318300,"sku":"9781481497176","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a678ebc3-5233-4e37-881c-62b797cfd6f2.jpg?v=1603881055","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/remarkables-9781481497176","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
