Why do so many people drown in the river running through the
Pacific Northwest town of Gray Star? Only a mermaid princess can
answer that question, and she's been dead for 400 years. Deep in
the dark forest, pre-teen Sappho Smith's dreamlife is haunted by
strange beings, shimmering water, and silver clues. It's the
mid-1970s, and young Sappho stands at the threshold of worlds.
Mother Kate has followed her Californian lover on his treasure hunt
and embraced the sweet hippie dream of going Back to the Land. That
dream cracks up against the hard facts of life in the north
woods-often with comic results. School life offers the allure of
the cool kids. Sappho is caught between her peers' seductive pull
and that of the beautiful spectre desperate to lift the
centuries-old curse on her people. Can Sappho truly hear the
ghostly mermaid and reveal the Siren's Secret at last?
"Once upon a time there was dark, dark moor. On the moor there was
a dark, dark wood. In the wood there was a dark, dark house". Young
listeners will be kept on the edge of their seats as the journey
continues up dark stairways through hidden passages, around sharp
corners and behind windblown curtains. "A splendid choice for group
story time".--School Library Journal. American Bookseller
Pick-of-the Lists. Full-color illustrations.
