By Ella, Sara2019., General Call No: Fantasy Fiction ELL Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's beloved--yet tragic--fairy tale, "The Little Mermaid," Coral explores mental health and what it means to be human in a world where humanity often seems lost. Coral has always been different, standing out from her mermaid sisters in a society where blending in is key. Worse yet, she fears she has been afflicted with the dreaded Disease said to be carried by humans--emotions. Her sister had the Disease, and Red Tide took her away. Will it come for Coral next? Above the sea, Brooke has nothing left to give. Depression and anxiety have left her feeling isolated. Forgotten. The only thing she can rely on is the numbness she finds within the cool and comforting ocean waves. If only she weren't stuck at a new group-therapy home that promises a second chance at life. But what's the point of living if her soul is destined to bleed? Merrick may be San Francisco's golden boy, but he wants nothing more than to escape his controlling father. When his younger sister's suicide attempt sends Merrick to his breaking point, escape becomes the only option. If he can find their mom, everything will be made right again--right? When their worlds collide, all three will do whatever it takes to survive. But what--and who--must they leave behind for life to finally begin? Praise for Coral: "This heart-wrenching tale will pull you under its spell." --ANNIE SULLIVAN, author of A Touch of Gold and Tiger Queen "A beautiful reimagining." --LAUREN MANSY, author of The Memory Thief "A breathless, powerful journey of the heart and mind." --LINDSAY A. FRANKLIN, award-winning author of The Story Peddler.
