Review by Jasmine Sov, 15<\/p>\n

Of Salt & Shore<\/em> By Annet Schaap<\/h3>\n
Emilia \u201cLampie\u201d Waterman is the lighthouse keeper\u2019s daughter, and it\u2019s her responsibility to light the lighthouse\u2019s lantern every day so that incoming ships won\u2019t crash into the rocks. One stormy night, she forgets, and a ship is subsequently wrecked. The town demands that someone must pay for the damage, so Lampie is sent to become a maid at the admiral\u2019s Black House\u2014a nearby estate rumored to house a monster. However, Lampie soon finds that the monster is not a monster after all, but the admiral\u2019s neglected and deformed son whom she nicknames \u201cFish\u201d. At first, he is hostile towards her, but over time they become close friends. Together, they must explore and solve the mysteries of their pasts, which connect the folk of both land and sea.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Of Salt & Shore<\/em> is a tale so evocative that you can practically feel the ocean\u2019s salty spray tickle your nose while reading it. With a protagonist younger than the typical YA main character and a noticeable (and appreciated) lack of strong profanity, the book is well-suited for a tween audience as well as a teenage one. Many characters other than Lampie get at least a few paragraphs from their perspective, which helps the reader to really understand the story better. The one thing I was a bit confused about was that on the cover of the book, the tagline reads \u201cWhat if the Little Mermaid left a child who didn\u2019t belong in either world\u2026? This story begins where the fairy tale ends.\u201d At first, I thought that that child was Lampie, but I later realized that the tagline was referring to Fish. Of Salt & Shore<\/em> presents a gracefully written story awash in the beautiful simplicity of young friendship.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4.5 stars.<\/div>\n
