Description

A timeless classic heads under the sea…

A retelling of Louisa May Alcott’s classic, Little Women: Mermaid Edition takes the story of Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy, and spins it into a fantastical story of merfolk under the sea. Follow the young mergirls as they grow up in a world of talking walruses, seahorse rides, and the mysterious merboy next door.

Will the four mermaid sisters find everything they aspire to in the Deep Ocean? Or will poverty and shabby shell corsets keep them from their dreams?

True to the beloved classic, the Mermaid Edition tackles complex themes of growing up, social pressure, falling in love for the first time, and embracing sisterly love.

Complete with original illustrations, this retelling is perfect for longtime lovers of Little Women and new readers alike.

Advance Praise

This is a fresh retelling of the same classic story, but with everything flipped into all things mermaid! It still keeps all the characters' personalities and stories the same, and does not change the lessons taught. I highly recommend it!

I love retellings and this is one of the most interesting ones I have ever read, with the cast of little women reimagined as mermaids. I loved this book and I loved the illustrations

So excited to read this! Full review to follow here and on the blog! As a fan of Little
Women & The Little Mermaid what a perfect combination to take the original story and give it a under the sea twist! I’m so excited to see what they did with this and I appreciate the opportunity to read/review so very much

This book was super appealing to me from the start, and a lush and alluring read. What more can you want than an amazing classic, ‘one of my favourites’ with a spin of turning them all into majestic underwater creatures. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this undersea venture.
